After Action Report

In Orlando, the Bobcats ran roughshod over the Magic 112-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Bobcats stayed locked in; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
