HOUSTON (AP) — Christian Wood scored 22 points and tied a career high with 15 rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 132-90 rout over the short-handed Orlando Magic. Houston was up by 29 at halftime and had extended the lead to 81-43 after consecutive 3-pointers by John Wall and P.J. Tucker with about five minutes left in the third. The Magic looked nothing like the team that opened the season 6-2 as Aaron Gordon sat out with a left hamstring injury in the team’s first game since Markelle Fultz sustained a season-ending knee injury in a win over Cleveland on Wednesday night.
