Magic-Blazers with the drunkest fnal two minutes possible. Just your typical way that an 11-point lead at 2:00 ends in a win, nothing to see here.

Obvious from the available players that tonight's game would be a blowout, and it is.

Hawks will be without three starters and two key reserves tonight. Trae Young, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kristaps Porzingis, Jalen Johnson and Luke Kennard all out.

Just blew a finish because he couldn't go in right-handed; still needs to develop that part of his game.
Among many good Hawks things happening tonight, rookie Asa Newell has 11 points, four steals and just made a circus shot in the paint over Jaxson Hayes.
