Wednesday’s loss to the Orlando Magic was brutal in a number of ways for the Atlanta Hawks. Playing on the road, Mike Budenholzer’s team had every opportunity to emerge victorious but, in the end, it took 53 minutes of clock time to find a winner and it wasn’t a favorable result for the visitors.
Less than 72 hours later, though, the same two teams will take the floor in a different venue, as Philips Arena plays host to the rematch. It should be noted that the Magic actually participated in a real, live NBA game on Friday and, as such, will be on the second game of a back-to-back set.
