Houston Rockets Take a Step Back In Loss to Magic – Player Grades

The Houston Rockets took to the road in a one game east coast trip to take on the Orlando Magic Wednesday, at the Amway Center. After a slow start in which they fell behind 20-10 early in the first quarter, the Rockets went on a 19-3 run to take a 33-27 lead. However, lack of defense gave the Magic a 59-53 lead at the half.

Overall, the team lacked energy and brought no effort on defense which ultimately cost the Rockets the game and ended their 3-game mini winning streak.

Here are the Rockets’ player grades from the game.
