After Action Report
The Magic downed the Rockets 111-100. Magic's offense had its way with the Rockets. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
