The Celtics lead the Magic by 13 with 8:16 to play.
All of the Eastern Conference games with meaning tonight have gone as expected, factoring in guys who sat out:
Hornets up big over the Knicks
Heat blew out the Hawks
Sixers are up big over the Bucks
Raptors are up big over the Nets
#Magic guard Jalen Suggs had a message for Orlando fans Monday:
“… I know it’s been frustrating, I know it’s been a tough year — all y'all, we truly need you guys down the stretch ... I promise we’re working. None of us in here have given up (or) waved any white flag…”
More:
Frustration is winning. Wendell Carter gets beat by Dyson Daniels. He grabs him around the waist and pushes him after the play. Easy technical foul.
#Magic have no rhythm or juice after starting the game so well.
84-58 ATL, 8:47 3rd
FRANZ WAGNER IS BACK!
The #Magic try to get their first win against the #Hawks and climb back into the race for sixth. Big one at the Kia Center tonight!
Just a disaster of a 2nd quarter.
Hawks out scored the Magic by 20.
Magic opened the quarter with reckless passes. The Hawks capitalized on it. They went on a run. Mose took a timeout down 6 points, ran almost an all bench unit and things snowballed. NAW and JJ mocking Orlando.
