After Action Report
The Magic survived the Rockets 129-127. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
