After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets outlasted the Magic 115-101. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
