Looking to win the 2nd game of a back-to-back for the first time this season, the Atlanta Hawks faced off with the Magic in Orlando Monday night. Coming off the 2OT win over the Knicks just a day ago, the tired Hawks were going to have it tough.
The starters started out expectantly slow, allowing Orlando to get out to an early led. The Hawks’ bench was able to turn that around however, with Dewayne Dedmon, Jeff Teague and Brandon Goodwin having a good period. The Atlanta bench scored 16 points in 1st quarter, compared to just two from Orlando’s bench.
