After Action Report
In Houston, the Magic rolled past the Rockets 102-77. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
