The Orlando Magic defeated the Miami Heat, 104-99, at American Airlines Arena on Tuesday.

The Heat (36-38) and the Magic (37-38) knew this game would be big thanks to its play-off implications, and there's no question it lived up to the hype. In a night that was marked by Chris Bosh's jersey-retirement ceremony, the Heat looked motivated and jumped ahead in the first quarter thanks to a 32-18 lead that made fans think this would be an easy contest. However, Orlando came from behind and won the subsequent two quarters by five and fifteen points each while limiting the Heat to less than 20 points in both of them (24-19 and 34-19, respectively). Miami won the final quarter 29-28, but it was too late to mount a comeback and Orlando stole a huge win on the road. One that now puts them in the driver seat for a playoff berth with only seven games left on their schedule.

As it has been the trend all season long, Nikola Vucevic carried the Magic's offense since he finished with an impressive performance of 24 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. D.J. Augustin had 17 points with seven assists, and Jonathan Isaac contributed 19 points with six boards. Aaron Gordon had a double-double of 14 points with 10 boards, and Evan Fournier chipped in with 11 points. Terrence Ross had 10 points off the bench.

Dion Waiters was the best player for the Heat since he finished with 26 points, and he was well flanked by Dwyane Wade who contributed with 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Josh Richardson had 17 points with six assists, and Hassan Whiteside contributed 10 points and "only" two rebounds off the bench. No other Heat player scored in double figures in this match.
