After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Magic 110-105. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
