After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Magic 126-125. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
