Magic, Hornets out to unlock combinations as NBA Cup opens
November 11 - For the Orlando Magic, it has come down to finding the right combinations to fill temporary gaps in the lineup, while the Charlotte Hornets deal with injuries that have altered their rotations as well.
When the teams meet Tuesday night in Orlando for their NBA Cup group-play opener, the Magic will try to improve to 5-0 at home. They are coming off a huge second half that helped them crush the Washington Wizards 121-94 on Sunday by scoring 60 points after halftime.
Forward Franz Wagner scored 23 points as the Magic recorded a season-high point total. Wagner has led Orlando in scoring for the past five games.
