After Action Report

The Rockets demolished the Magic 123-93. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
