After Action Report

The Bobcats edged the Magic 99-93. Bobcats' offense had its way with the Magic. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
