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.
