After Action Report
The Magic handled the Hawks 100-83. Magic's starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
