After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Magic 138-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
