After Action Report
The Magic edged the Hornets 117-111. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
