After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets held off the Magic 104-98. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
