After Action Report
The Magic handled the Rockets 115-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Magic · 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.
