After Action Report

The Magic demolished the Rockets 124-94. Magic torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
