3 to 1, the Orlando Magic, having had one home game stolen, came back to win three straight and reached match point.
Ever since the Magic adjusted their defensive strategy to man-to-man, the Rockets hadn't won even a single game against them.
As someone who had seen another version of the '95 Finals, Roger knew exactly where the Rockets' pain points were.
In the original history of the '95 Finals, with Shaq and Dream exploding and in dire need of outside support, the Magic's perimeter was as clean as if they'd used an enema.
Throughout the entire Finals, Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott's shooting percentages were only 36% and 31%, respectively.
Nick Anderson had his mental defenses completely collapse after being scolded by O'Neal in the locker room for missing four consecutive free throws at the end of the first game, which led to him never recovering throughout the Finals and losing all confidence.
