The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Orlando Magic, 120-111, at Amway Center on Wednesday evening.

The Hornets (4-1) were coming off a loss in their previous contest but have turned things around quickly and recorded their fourth win of the campaign after easily topping the Magic (1-4) in what was a big come-from-behind win for Charlotte. The first quarter ended with a 31-31 score and while Charlotte grabbed a three-point lead at the break following a 33-30 score in the second quarter, it's worth noting that Orlando turned things around and grabbed the advantage after outscoring their rivals by a 32-27 score in the third. With just a two-point lead, Orlando had the chance to close things out but couldn't complete the job, allowing Charlotte to mount a late comeback. The Hornets won the final quarter by 11 points (29-18) and that was more than enough to cruise their way in the final minutes while also keeping the away record undefeated (3-0). Meanwhile, the Magic have now gone 0-2 at home this season.

Miles Bridges carried the Hornets offensively in this one since he ended with 31 points and six rebounds, while Gordon Hayward had an impressive performance of 24 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block. Mason Plumlee had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, while neither LaMelo Ball (seven points, 3-14 FG) nor Kelly Oubre Jr. (four points, 1-7 FG) managed to deliver good performances.
