The teammates didn't play well in offense and didn't just rely on the Double Guns to carry them. They worked hard on defense, locking down the Magic Team's near and mid-range scoring, holding them to just 15 points in the entire second quarter.
At halftime, the Bobcats led the Magic Team by 14 points, 50 to 36!
