After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets pulled away from the Magic 105-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
