After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Magic 106-92. Every possession went the Rockets way. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
