It’s December 25, 1995. Merry Christmas! We’re in Orlando for a finals rematch between the title losers and the title winners. (or as they prefer to be called The Magic and the 2-time title-winning Rockets.)

The score is tied with 8 seconds left. Shaq, Penny, Nick Anderson and the Magic need a win for revenge. It won't make up for losing the finals, but it's better than nothing. And certainly better than another L. Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler (who's injured) and the Rockets need a win for respect. Wait, didn't I just say the Rockets are repeat champs? Shouldn't that give them respect..?

Let’s get into it. Let’s rewind.
