The Charlotte Hornets overcame a 23 point deficit to take a fourth quarter lead, but they couldn’t hold onto it in the final minutes and dropped their preseason finale to the Orlando Magic, 120-117.
The Magic came out of the gate on fire, hitting five 3-pointers and scoring 21 points in less than five minutes to jump out to an 11 point lead. Three of those 3-pointers were uncontested 3-pointers by Nikola Vucevic. The Magic cooled off after the Hornets called a timeout to get everything under control, but the Hornets still struggled on the other end.
