Despite missing key players like Jimmy Butler, Kevin Love, and Josh Richardson, the Heat managed an explosive first half, scoring 76 points and leading by 25.
However, the Heat's complete collapse in the fourth quarter, allowing a 26-3 run from the Magic, ultimately sealed their fate in this loss.
This game highlighted the inconsistency of the Heat this season, as they failed to capitalize on a dominating first half and allowed the Magic to comeback.
The Heat's inability to maintain their lead emphasizes the need for better defensive strategies late in games, especially during back-to-back matchups.
