After Action Report

The Rockets buried the Magic 125-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
