After Action Report

The Magic survived the Hawks 109-105. Magic's offense had its way with the Hawks. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
