The Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic got together for the second time in 72 hours on Saturday evening. While it was a much different game than the contest on Wednesday, the result was far better for the Hawks, as the team emerged with a 117-110 victory in memorable fashion.
The early going featured an explosion from Ersan Ilyasova, who scored 13 points (on perfect shooting) in the first eight minutes. The veteran forward capped an 8-0 Hawks run with a three that gave Atlanta a 24-16 lead and moments later, the Hawks extended that advantage to 10 points.
