After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Hornets 104-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
