After Action Report
The Magic buried the Rockets 121-101. Magic torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
