The Charlotte Hornets reserves outplayed the Orlando Magic starters, and only a couple Magic players really seemed to show up for the occasion in a season finale loss.
Despite being thoroughly outplayed by the Charlotte Hornets, there were a few Magic players to have standout games in this one. Reading too much into it proves futile, but Evan Fournier, Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon all turned in solid games.
The trio shot 25 for 44 from the floor while combining for 61 points. The rest of the Magic, however, shot just 36 percent from the field. And the defensive intensity seemed to be nil at points.
The Hornets played 13 players 10 minutes or more, just kind of giving everyone a chance to get one kick in on the Magic before their trip to the Playoffs.
Orlando held it together throughout the final leg of the season while the games lacked actual meaning, but it seems that effort could not extend quite into this final game.
