It’s never made much sense how long of a win streak the Charlotte Hornets have over the Orlando Magic, but there was little doubt it would continue Friday.
The Hornets jumped out to a quick 10-point lead, taking advantage of a Magic team throwing away the ball. The margin reached 31 in the third quarter and the Hornets cruised to a 120-88 victory at Amway Center. This was their 12th consecutive victory over the Magic.
All-Star point guard Kemba Walker, coming off a 41-point performance in the season-opening loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, was spectacular again with 26 points and five assists.
