After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the Magic 138-108. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
