After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Rockets 130-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
