After Action Report
The Magic survived the Rockets 100-96. Magic torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Magic are in a full-on tailspin; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
