After Action Report

The Magic rolled past the Hawks 118-89. Magic's offense had its way with the Hawks. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
