After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets snuck past the Magic 120-119. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
