After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Magic 98-93. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
