After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Rockets 119-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
