After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets stunned the Magic 115-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
