After Action Report
The Magic buried the Hornets 132-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
