Houston didn’t play well tonight on offense but their defense kept them in the game and ultimately that’s what led to them getting the win.

For the Houston Rockets, the standout player is often Jalen Green. For the Orlando Magic, the best player is typically Paolo Banchero.
For points per game (PPG):
– Jalen Green (Rockets): He averages around 20-22 PPG.
– Paolo Banchero (Magic): He averages around 19-21 PPG.

When the opposing team shoots 32%, you should win 9 out of 10 times. Good win. 3 straight important wins

The Rockets have a favorable schedule for the next week. They need to take advantage of it. I’m happy to see this team improve so much. They were a laughingstock a few years ago when Harden left. I remember when they signed Brooks and Van Fleet and got so much grief. I told people they would help turn this team around and they have. Also Ime Udoka has been a great hire. The front office had a plan and stuck to it. This is what a proper rebuild looks like. Draft well and sign players/staff that help change the culture.

The Orlando Magic are members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference. The Houston Rockets are members of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference. Was the NBA game on a Monday between the two teams billed as “The Southern-style matchup?”
