After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks outlasted the Magic 123-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
