After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Magic 114-100. Hawks' positional fit overwhelmed the Magic rotation. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
