After Action Report
The Bobcats ran roughshod over the Magic 134-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Bobcats' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
