After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Magic 128-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
