After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Magic 107-100. Rockets torched the Magic on the offensive end. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
