After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Magic 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
