Another one bites the dust. Last night the shorthanded Heat eliminated the Rockets, thus furthering the importance of tomorrow night's game. Other than that no help from any other teams. Though, apparently the Jazz softened the Magic up quite a bit as they were trounced by the Nuggets in the second game of their road b2b.
