After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Magic survived the Hawks 109-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
