After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Magic 110-109. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
