A fadeaway jumper sealed the victory! Durant is really awesome, the Rockets narrowly beat the Magic

Normally, there is no suspense about the outcome of such a game. The Magic have performed poorly this season. Their core guard Suggs failed to perform at a normal level. The main forwards Wagner Jr. and Banchero played too many singles and did not connect the team at all.

The Rockets' goal this season is to hit the NBA championship, at least to reach the Western Conference Finals. In order to improve the team's offensive ability in positional battles, they also made a choice, keeping Shen Jing and sending away Jaylen Green in exchange for Durant. Such operations do play a key role, and today is a good example.

The Magic played very tenaciously and were never able to break away from the points difference by the Rockets. They even maintained the lead many times. It was the Rockets who were struggling to catch up. At the last moment of the game, Shen Jing stepped up and scored, helping the Rockets even the point difference, and the two teams entered the overtime battle.

In overtime, it was Durant's turn to step up for the Rockets. Although Durant is a veteran, his personal singles ability is still very good, and he has the function of holding the ball and scoring in positional battles. At the last minute, Durant's fadeaway jumper ended the suspense of the game, helping the Rockets defeat the Magic 117-113 and defend their home court.

Durant contributed 35 points and 6 assists in the game, Shen Jing scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, and Sheppard also scored 16 points and 7 rebounds. It can be said that the Rockets have gradually developed a very effective lineup, which is really not something the Magic can resist.

The Rockets are currently firmly in the top four in the Western Conference. Their goal is still to hit the top two in the Western Conference and continue to catch up with the Oklahoma City Thunder in front.
