After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Hornets 108-97. Every possession went the Magic way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
