Rockets uses big 4th quarter to surge past Magic

Xinhua, March 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Houston Rockets used a big fourth quarter to surge past the Orlando Magic 107-94 Tuesday night at Toyota Center, claiming their second straight win.

The Rockets had a close game with the Magic, especially in the first three quarters, with neither of them able to establish a sizeable lead.

Houston had a late jolt in the last period, sank back-to-back 3-pointers and quickly regained an advantage Orlando found hard to overturn.

Donatas Motiejunas scored 23 points for Houston, James Harden and Josh Smith each had 17 points. Victor Oladipo grabbed 29 points, while Aaron Gordon added 13 points for the Magic, who have dropped four in a row. Endi
