After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Rockets 123-114. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
