After Action Report

The Bobcats squeaked past the Magic 117-112. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
