The Magic squeaked past the Rockets 115-110. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it
