After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic blew the doors off the Rockets 103-80. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
