After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Rockets 115-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
