After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Magic 127-121. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
