Regular Season Round 42: Atlanta H. - Orlando M. 87-81
Date: December 12, 2014
The hottest team in the Eastern Conference was ice cold and frustrated. The Orlando Magic looked poised to snap the Atlanta Hawks' eight-game winning streak. Hawks' forward Paul Millsap had other ideas. Millsap scored 23 points, rallying the Hawks back from a 12-point deficit in the second half and leading them to an 87-81 victory over the Magic on Friday at Philips Arena. The Hawks' nine-game winning streak is their longest since opening the 1997-98 season with 11 straight victories. Atlanta won despite a season-low scoring output and a dreadful shooting stretch that began in the second quarter and spanned into the third quarter. Atlanta (16-5) led 81-73 with three minutes to play after a steal and layup by point guard Jeff Teague. Orlando got back within two on a driving layup by guard Victor Oladipo with 20 seconds to play, but Teague made a pair of clinching free throws as the Hawks improved to 10-2 at home. Oladipo led the Magic (9-16) with 21 points, and guard Evan Fournier added 18. The Magic opened the second half with 17-5 run to take a 12-point lead midway through the third quarter. Fournier and Oladipo hit 3-pointers during the run. The Hawks looked flat and sluggish. Millsap provided the spark with a pair of 3-pointers, and forward DeMarre Carroll completed a three-point play off a breakaway layup tripped the Magic lead to 64-59 with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Two minutes later, forward Al Horford hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 64-64 heading into the fourth quarter. Horford finished with 17 points, and Teague added 13 points. Fournier made his presence felt on both ends of the floor for the Magic. The second-year man out from France hounded Atlanta sharp-shooter Kyle Korver on defense and sparked Orlando's push in the third quarter. Korver was held to just six points on two of five shooting and did not attempt a free throw. The Magic opened the second half with 17-5 run to take a 12-point lead midway through the third quarter. Fournier and Oladipo hit 3-pointers during the run. The Hawks looked flat and sluggish. Millsap provided the spark with a pair of 3-pointers, and forward DeMarre Carroll completed a three-point play off a breakaway layup tripped the Magic lead to 64-59 with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Two minutes later, Horford hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 64-64 heading into the fourth quarter. Both teams were crisp at the start. Horford hit his first four shots, fueling a hot shooting start from the Hawks. Atlanta shot 63.2 percent in the first quarter and led 29-26. But the Hawks cooled off in the second quarter, shooting just 18.2 percent. Forward Tobias Harris, the Magic's leading scorer didn't make his first field goal until late in the second quarter. He hit a corner 3-pointer and followed it up with an elbow jumper, and Fournier knocked down a 3-pointer with two seconds left in the half to tie the score, 40-40, at intermission. Atlanta made just 1 of 13 3-pointers in the first half, but finally found its rhythm in the second half behind Millsap. The two teams will meet again Saturday in Orlando. Courtesy of: kcci.com
