After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Hawks 119-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic sent shots into the fifth row all night; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
