After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Magic 116-96. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
