After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Rockets 121-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
