After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Magic 137-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
