After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Magic survived the Hawks 130-129. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
