After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Magic survived the Hornets 99-98. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
