After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Bobcats 111-96. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
