After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic demolished the Hornets 149-85. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
