After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Hawks 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
