After Action Report
The Magic handled the Rockets 122-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it

- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
