Second year Rockets guard Reed Sheppard chipped in 16 points off the bench and Amen Thompson dropped a double double with his 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Rockets shot 40% from 3-points range and just two of those came from Durant. Houston also made 86.2% of their free throw attempts, both of which were an issue for the Rockets last season. Houston improved to 9-3 with the win and are currently sitting in third place in the western conference.
Orlando fell to 7-7 after Sunday night’s road loss despite Franz Wagner’s 29 points and 26 from Desmond Bane. The Magic were dominated on the boards by the Rockets, 60-38. Orlando also lost the points in the paint battle by 12, 58-46.
