Orlando Magic Grades: Orlando Magic 113, Charlotte Hornets 98
The Orlando Magic offense was moving well and a couple players stood out for their excellence in an excellent win for the Magic at home.
The last time the Orlando Magic were in the Amway Center, they were getting run out of their building and having some part of their identity questioned. Things had slipped for the Magic and they needed time to get it back.
After Monday’s working of the Nets and now Tuesday’s working of the Charlotte Hornets in a 113-98 victory at Amway Center, the Magic have started to find themselves again. At least on offense.
Orlando shot a season-high 55.8 percent and made a season-high 14 3-pointers dishing out 28 assists including 18 in their first 23 makes in the first half.
The Magic bullrushed the Hornets with great passing and aggressive offense. Charlotte’s defense struggled to catch up and close out. The Magic always seemed one pass ahead.
This was a team matching a previous game and finding some consistency at long last.
