After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Magic 115-89. Rockets' offense had its way with the Magic. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
