In a track meet, the Magic handled the Rockets 121-107. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in.
What tipped it
- Magic · 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.
