The Miami Heat came into their fourth preseason game of the year with a record of 3-0 across the preseason. Having beaten the San Antonio Spurs, the Charlotte Hornets, and the Atlanta Hawks, they would be looking to add the Orlando Magic to that list as well.
They came out pretty slow, allowing the Magic to go up by eight points or so before charging back to close the gap. It was a very back and forth affair for much of the first half, with neither team leading by any more than four points or so.
