After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Rockets 121-92. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
