Andrew Nicholson was Orlando’s lone bright star off the bench. How did some of the starting lineup fair against the Hawks?
The Orlando Magic controlled the pace and tempo of the game for three quarters, opening as much as a 13-point lead.
The Hawks though showed why they are the best team in the East by taking control in the fourth quarter, going on a 24-2 run to take control of the game back, forcing seven fourth-quarter Magic turnovers and absolutely stymieing everything the Magic tried to do on both ends of the floor.
The final 95-83 score was indicative of where both teams are at right now.
