After Action Report
The Magic handled the Hornets 90-78. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic are in a full-on tailspin; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
