After Action Report
The Magic upended the Rockets 111-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
