After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets rolled past the Magic 123-83. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
