After Action Report
The Magic shocked the Hawks 96-91. Every possession went the Magic way. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
