NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Magic 117-113 in overtime. This game was not easy for the Rockets, because they dug holes in the first half, causing them to chase points in the second half. And there was a mistake at the last moment, but fortunately Shen Jing made a perfect draw. The Rockets maintained their advantage in overtime and eventually won.

The performance of both players was perfect. Durant also scored key goals in the final quarter and overtime, especially the two three-pointers, helping the team take the lead. In addition, there is a crucial mid-range shot in overtime. This is Durant's value. The Rockets have always lacked such a player, and he fully demonstrated his contribution. Shepard has now gradually proven himself that as long as he maintains his rhythm on the court, he can also reduce mistakes. He scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists on 6-of-11 shooting. The plus-minus value is still the highest on the team.

Shen Jing, Smith, Holiday and Okogie all performed passably. Shen Jing was redeemed this time, because in the first half, his state was still a little too anxious, and some mistakes and shots would cause the team to lose its rhythm. Fortunately, the final draw, the stable scoring in overtime, and the defensive contribution helped the team win. Helplessly, he scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists on 11 of 31 shots. This efficiency was too high.

Smiths scored 10 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block on 4 of 9 shots. Of course, he had no status in this game, but his defense at the last moment was very tough, and his efficiency on the offensive end was also good, which gave him a comprehensive offensive and defensive performance. Holiday has maintained stable output in two consecutive games, scoring 10 points on 3 of 4. The plug-and-play effect is very good. Okogie still focused on defense, especially those two steals, which still laid the foundation.

Amen and Adams both performed sluggishly. Amen still has a problem with his three-point shooting percentage, and with no organization, he can only rely on his teammates to make air cuts. 4 of 13 in the game, this kind of performance is still almost meaningless. At the same time, today's defensive effect is not very good. Let's reflect on it as soon as possible. Adams couldn't finish well, and he had a lot of bad hands. He still couldn't be trusted at the critical moment. He almost led to a collapse in the top five.
