After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Magic 107-87. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
