In Orlando, the Magic demolished the Rockets 124-86. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
