After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets took care of the Magic 116-103. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
