After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the Magic 100-97. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
