After Action Report
The Magic edged the Rockets 100-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
