After Action Report
The Bobcats squeaked past the Magic 109-107. Bobcats' scorers couldn't be contained. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
