After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Bobcats 116-114. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
