After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Hornets 118-86. Every possession went the Magic way. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
