Hawks Rally in Fourth Quarter to Defeat Magic 111-107

The Atlanta Hawks rallied from a double-digit deficit to defeat the Orlando Magic 111-107 in a closely contested game at the Kia Center. Trae Young led the Hawks with 25 points, including crucial free throws in the final 21 seconds that secured the win, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Onyeka Okongwu contributed 19 and 17 points respectively. Despite Franz Wagner's team-high 27 points and five Magic starters scoring in double figures, Orlando struggled with shooting efficiency, particularly missing all seven of their 3-point attempts in the fourth quarter and converting only 24 of 37 free throws. The Hawks overcame early foul troubles and the absence of key players Zaccharie Risacher and Kristaps Porzingis to mount a 15-0 run in the fourth quarter that erased Orlando's 12-point lead. Orlando's Paolo Banchero was ineffective offensively, shooting 4 for 15 and missing a critical late 3-point attempt. Both teams face back-to-back games with the Hawks hosting Oklahoma City and the Magic hosting Chicago the following night.
