The Charlotte Hornets have concerns about offense after this week's injury pinch that has altered the available personnel.
An ideal tonic for the Hornets could be arriving Friday night, when the visiting Orlando Magic come to town.
The Magic have serious challenges on defense, giving up more than 120 points in each of their last three setbacks. That includes Wednesday night's 139-117 loss at Milwaukee.
"We have to look at it and understand where we can be better," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley. "Protecting the paint early. ... This is a resilient basketball team."
And apparently a perturbed group as well.
