Depleted Magic can’t keep up with hot-shooting Rockets

The Orlando Magic absorbed their worst loss of the season, falling, 132-90, to the Houston Rockets on Friday night at Toyota Center.

Nikola Vucevic recorded his sixth double-double of the season with 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Magic (6-3), who took their first road loss of the season. Orlando fell short of matching the franchise-best 7-2 starts by four previous teams (1994-95, 1995-96, 1998-99 and 2007-08).

Rookie point guard Cole Anthony finished with 15 points and three assists in his first NBA start, while Mo Bamba recorded 12 points and seven rebounds in nearly 13 1/2 minutes — his most game action of the season — for Orlando.
