After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Magic demolished the Bobcats 118-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
