After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Rockets 99-92. Magic torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
