The Charlotte Hornets 2025-2026 season concluded with a disheartening 120-91 loss to the Orlando Magic in the play-in tournament. The Magic advanced to face the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, while the Hornets returned home after a lackluster performance. The Magic dominated the first quarter with aggressive defense, leading to a 31-point deficit at halftime. The Hornets offense faltered, particularly from three-point range, despite their regular-season series victory against Orlando. Magic coach Paolo Banchero praised his teams intensity, while Hornets coach Charles Lee criticized the referees. LaMelo Ball scored 23 points, but most came in the third quarter. Banchero led with 25 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds, with all five Magic starters scoring in double figures. Kon Knueppel had a poor shooting night, going 1 for 12 from three. The Magic now prepare for a tougher matchup against the Pistons, showcasing their ability to turn the tables when it matters.
