After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Rockets 120-93. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
