After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Magic 128-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
