After Action Report
The Magic survived the Rockets 112-110. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic are in a full-on tailspin; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
