After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Rockets 130-100. Magic's offense had its way with the Rockets. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
