After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Rockets 110-101. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
