After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Hornets 147-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
