After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Magic 123-84. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
