#Rockets looking somewhat better in Drop coverage with Sengun playing higher. Did a solid job, but better move by Wagner. The help rotation also came quicker, and was more decisive. pic.twitter.com/VzWfWMPWsl – 7:44 PM

Rockets on pace for 36 made threes. If they’re that hot, they deserve to win. – 7:42 PM

Rockets 33, Magic 30 after 1. Rockets shooting 43.5 %, Magic 63.6 %, but Rockets with nine 3-pointers. They average 12.3 per game. The nine is their most in any quarter this season. Green and Gordon with three 3s each. – 7:42 PM

Rockets lead the NBA in second-chance scoring. They just scored their first three, on a Porter 3-pointer, on a four-shot possession. – 7:36 PM

Paolo Banchero is many things. Most amazing is that he is just 19! He’s going to end up looking like Terry Cummings with the skills to do, well, everything. – 7:33 PM

I like the action the Magic just ran there, a pin-down for T. Ross with Bamba relocating to the corner after the screen. If the opponent flubs the coverage, that’s a wide-open corner triple for Bamba and an easy pass for Ross. More of that, please. – 7:28 PM

Magic switch everything, which makes sense with four starters between 6-10 and 7-2. Rockets ball movement often stops against switches, but not bad early. – 7:20 PM
