After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets demolished the Magic 117-91. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
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.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
