After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Magic outlasted the Hornets 131-113. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
