After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Magic 108-104. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. 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
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
