After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Magic 111-108. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
