After Action Report

The Magic survived the Hornets 106-103. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
