After Action Report

The Hawks demolished the Magic 129-98. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
