After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic buried the Bobcats 112-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; the Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
