After Action Report
In Orlando, the Hornets fended off the Magic 97-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
