After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Rockets 130-112. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. The Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
