Orlando ended the first quarter only two points ahead of Charlotte. The Magic had a strong offensive drive in the second quarter, so the Hornets were down 10 points going into halftime. Charlotte gained momentum in the third quarter and reclaimed the lead until LaMelo Ball earned his fifth foul and had to sit on the bench.
