After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Hornets 107-104. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
