Magic lose another close one to the Hornets

The Orlando Magic dropped another close game to a contender last night, losing at home 98-97. The Magic were crushed on the boards by the Hornets as they were out rebounded 52-30.

This is the second consecutive 1 point defeat to a western Conference contender as the Magic dropped a game to San Antonio last week.

For the game, the Magic shot 50% from the floor and held the Hornets to 41%. In the end, the rebounding advantage held by the Hornets proved to be too much to overcome. Keyon Dooling missed a 12 foot jumper with less than 2 seconds remaining.

Hedo Turkgolou led the Magic with 26 points. Dwight Howard added 15 rebounds.
