After Action Report

The Magic blew the doors off the Hornets 94-73. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' positional balance gave them a synergy edge. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
