After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Magic 120-119. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
