After Action Report
The Hornets stunned the Magic 116-102. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
