Eastern Conference Standings: 10th with a record of 4-7
Summary
The Charlotte Hornets (4-7) fell to the Orlando Magic (6-6) on Tuesday night (Nov. 12). Both teams started off shooting a good ball, but it became obvious early on that Charlotte would need someone other than LaMelo Ball to step up. Tre Mann was a late scratch with lower back soreness and Brandon Miller struggled against Orlando's size, so help never really arrived.
When LaMelo's shooting cooled down in the second half, the game slipped away entirely. Orlando continued to build on their already sizeable lead in the closing minutes, as point differential can be crucial to advance out of the NBA Cup group stage.
