After Action Report

The Magic took care of the Hawks 99-86. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 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.
