The Rockets (27-9) won tonight against the Magic (12-27) in Orlando by a score of 116-98. While the game started out slowly, with just 12 combined points in the first 5 minutes, the Rockets managed to still drop 116 points on the lowly Magic.
With James Harden out, the Rockets needed somebody to step up, and Gerald Green did just that. He dropped 27 points to lead the way for Houston. We’ll get more into that here in a little bit.
Chris Paul had an off night on his shooting but still contributed to the game in many ways.
