Orlando Magic Clinch 7th Seed, Defeat Hawks 120-95
The Orlando Magic secured the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference by defeating the Atlanta Hawks 120-95 in the NBA play-in tournament, setting up a first-round playoff matchup against the Boston Celtics. Cole Anthony led the Magic with 26 points and six assists, while Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. contributed significantly with 17 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, and 19 points with seven rebounds, respectively. The Magic, who ended the regular season with a 41-41 record, pulled away in the fourth quarter after the Hawks had reduced the deficit to three points. Trae Young led the Hawks with 28 points but was ejected in the fourth quarter, hindering Atlanta's comeback efforts. Despite the loss, the Hawks have another chance to enter the playoffs by facing the winner of the Miami Heat-Chicago Bulls play-in game. The Magic will begin their playoff series against the Celtics on Sunday.
