After Action Report
In Orlando, the Hornets survived the Magic 109-108. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
