After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets survived the Magic 103-98. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
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.
