After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic buried the Hawks 112-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
