After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets rolled past the Magic 104-81. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
