After Action Report

The Magic survived the Bobcats 102-101. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
