After Action Report
The Magic survived the Bobcats 87-86. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
