After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Magic 155-84. Rockets' offense had its way with the Magic. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
