After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Hawks 117-85. Magic torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
