Game two will be tonight at 7p.m. on TNT.
The Bobcats tightened up their top-ranked defense in the second half of game one against the Magic but were unable to comeback for the win. Hopefully they guard the three point shot better in game two or they'll be flying home to Charlotte down two games to none.
