No Paolo Banchero, no Wendell Carter Jr., no Jalen Suggs, no Gary Harris and seemingly no problem for the Magic against the Hornets on Monday night at Spectrum Center.
On a night that, at times, felt like a rock right between Orlando and Charlotte (6-11), Jamahl Mosley’s squad relied heavily on its defense en route to the 95-84 road victory.
Without Banchero (torn right abdominal muscle), Carter (left foot plantar fasciitis), Suggs (left hamstring strain) and Harris (who exited early due to a left hamstring strain), the Magic saw Franz Wagner come alive in the fourth quarter when he scored 13 of his team-high 21 points in the frame.
