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.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
