After Action Report
The Magic handled the Rockets 110-99. Magic's offense had its way with the Rockets. The Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
