After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Magic 115-103. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
