After Action Report
The Magic downed the Rockets 108-97. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
