Recap/Analysis: Hornets struggle in blowout loss to Magic

LaMelo Ball scored 35 points but the Charlotte Hornets were thoroughly dominated in a loss to the Orlando Magic, 114-89.

The Summary

The first quarter was good. LaMelo Ball set off the fireworks he usually saves for the fourth quarter and led the Hornets in scoring. Jalen Suggs got uncharacteristically hot on the other end of the floor and went shot for shot with Ball and led the Magic to a two point lead after one.

The Hornets played one of the sloppiest second quarters you’ll ever see. They turned the ball over 10 times with a number of them coming in rapid succession.
