After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Hawks 124-103. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
