@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Hornets vs Magic

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Hornets vs Magic game 3.5 out of 10 in NBA on April 17, 2026. Final score: Hornets 90 – Magic 121. Play-Ins. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“The Magic cast a spell and burnt the Hive to a crisp before sending the ashes to a volcano. Ironically this game’s rating is going to be impacted by the disappointment factor, but not for the reason many thought it would be. All the talk about how disappointing Orlando has been must’ve ticked them off because just punched Charlotte in the mouth repeatedly. They were up 31 at halftime. So many people, including myself, said that Orlando needed more shots than just slashing to the rim. Well, they got it with 38% from 3 in the first half. That boost combined with their debilitating defense and successful slashing made this game child’s play. From beginning to end the Hornets never had a chance. You know what’s crazy? Orlando’s 3-ball went back to bad and they still cruised to victory. Again, that defense was stifling the Hornets. Banchero also clearly took the criticism personally and just dominated. His dunks and blocks were fun too. Aside from that, what a crappy way to end a fun team.”
