After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Magic 120-103. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
