After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Heat 96-83. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
