After Action Report
In Houston, the Magic outlasted the Rockets 131-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
