Default just how "close" does New Horizons get to the Moon?

So, much of the press coverage of the New Horizons probe is breathless
about how the probe will "pass the Moon in 9 hours." Does the probe
actually go anywhere near the Moon, or should the press really be
saying that the probe will pass beyond the Moon's orbital distance in
9 hours?
