After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets squeaked past the Magic 115-114. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
