After Action Report

The Magic blew the doors off the Bobcats 110-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
