The Hawks played fast on offense and protected the paint on defense. If they can build on this game, Atlanta could rise back up the standings without Young.
The Atlanta Hawks blew the Orlando Magic out 127-112 in what was nothing short of an awe-inspiring performance. The Hawks’ win can be attributed to their dominance in transition and interior defense, which forced Orlando to work for every bucket. On the flip side, Atlanta’s offense hummed against an Orlando team that has struggled to start the season.
