After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Magic 138-109. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
