After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic outlasted the Rockets 129-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
