After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Rockets 120-89. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
