After Action Report

The Hawks squeaked past the Magic 116-113 in overtime. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
