After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Hawks 105-91. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
