After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks downed the Magic 92-80. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
