After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets rolled past the Magic 124-92. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
