The Orlando Magic started their post-All-Star break journey off on the right footing as they defeated the Houston Rockets 119-111 in front of an energetic Amway Center crowd Friday night.
Chuma Okeke scored a career-high 26 points (9 for 13 FGA’s, 5 for 7 3PTA’s) off Orlando’s bench, providing just the spark the Magic needed to hold off a young and energetic Houston team.
“I was just trying to stay confident in myself,” Okeke told reporters after the game. “Believe that every shot that I take is going to go in. Even if the shot doesn’t go in, just move on to the next shot.
