After Action Report
The Magic buried the Hornets 121-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it

- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
