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.
