After Action Report

The Magic fended off the Hawks 98-92. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
