Magic 116, Rockets 110: Orlando's zone flummoxes Houston as losing streak hits four
Orlando Magic center Bol Bol and Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun chase a loose ball during the second half of an NBA basketball game at Toyota Center on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022 in Houston.The Rockets were not in control but seemed to be heading there.
The Rockets were running out of time, down eight. Markelle Fultz had picked up a loose ball after a Kevin Porter Jr. blocked shot and put in a layup. Franz Wagner hit a 3, his fourth, and the Magic led by eight, their largest lead. Porter added another drive. But that bucket and his drive and his four-point play were the only Rockets points in the final three minutes until Porter put in a dunk at the buzzer with the Magic leaving the floor with the win.
Since their 50 percent 3-point shooting against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Nov. 26, matching their season best, they had made a league-worst 27.8 percent of their 3s. In the three games prior to Wednesday’s, they went 8 of 53 from the 3-point line. Jalen Green went 6 of 9 from the 3-point line in that game but had not made more than three in any of the 11 games since.
