After Action Report
The Magic edged the Rockets 106-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now. 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.
