With less than a game separating the third and sixth seed in the Eastern Conference headed into Wednesday , Charlotte 's fate has yet to be sealed . However , the Hornets have been in high gear of late , finishing out the season as one of the hottest teams in basketball . Veteran big man Al Jefferson delivered a vintage perfromance on Wednesday , dropping in 26 points on 11 - for - 15 shooting and showcasing a wide array of post moves . Everything seemed to work for the Hornets , as the team hit 55 percent of its shots , 11 three - pointers , and dished out 32 total assists . Orlando , meanwhile , closed out another quiet lottery - bound season in disappointing fashion . While breakout guard Evan Fournier dropped 22 points , a figure matched by sophomore Aaron Gordon , the team could simply not do the job against its divisional rival . The Magic were out - rebounded 46 - 39 and could not find the net nearly as well as their opponents , shooting only 46 percent . The Hornets will take on either the Hawks , Celtics , or Heat in the first round of the playoffs .
