After Action Report

The Hawks survived the Magic 92-89. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
