After Action Report

The Magic survived the Hornets 101-97. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
