The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
