After Action Report

The Magic upended the Bobcats 119-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
