After Action Report
In Orlando, the Rockets demolished the Magic 106-80. Rockets' offense had its way with the Magic. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
