The Atlanta Hawks defeated the host Orlando Magic, 111 - 92, at Amway Center on Wednesday. In a battle between two teams battling for a playoff spot, the more experienced team went on a late run to cap off a big road win. In fact, the Hawks finished the game on a 23 - 8 run to open things up and win comfortably. They actually led for the majority of the game, as Orlando's only lead lasted less than two minutes in the second quarter. Shooting was the big difference in the game, with Atlanta hitting 54 percent from the field and 53 percent from three - point range, while Orlando went 43 percent from the field and 32 percent from three - point range on their end. The assist - to - turnover ratio was decisive as well, as the Hawks recorded more assists than the Magic, while committing less turnovers.

Paul Millsap tallied 16 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Kent Bazmore was second in scoring, dropping 17 points and handing out four assists. The Hawks will play again on Thursday in a road matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Magic (16 - 21) have been plying better with their recent lineup change, but that was n't the case here.
