After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Hawks 109-101. Magic's offense had its way with the Hawks. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
