00:00that first game back in a totally different Atlanta team I know it's
00:04Craig Young was the focal point of their franchise and they moved on for Trey
00:10Young and well they've made some interesting deals and they've all paid
00:13off for the Atlanta Hawks they're playing as well as anybody in the NBA
00:18right now since the all-star break Bogdard gets the ball inside against
00:22Dyson Daniels his shot is too strong rebounded by the Hawks CJ McCollum he'll
00:29drive it against Bain well defended by Debs Orlando wants to run Bain
00:35guarded by the Alexander Walker vancaro shot blocked by Okongwu now the Hawks
00:42reach the other way Okongwu a good three-point shooter knocks down his
00:47first attempt of the night when he's got the green line doesn't he how about Okongwu
00:51putting up ten threes the other night against the Celtics how about Dez getting out
00:58running gets to the free throw line for a chance for a three-point play chance to
01:03get a three-point play the old-fashioned way for Dezio they love it kick that ball
01:08ahead you know Atlanta one of those teams boy this group that they've got now
01:13become a a very good defensive team they guard the paint we talk about it all the
01:20time you get out and get buckets in transition before they get set really
01:24help yourself since the all-star break their defensive rating is number two in
01:29the NBA offensively they're a top ten team since the break you pointed out Jeff
01:35really outstanding defensive team nice and Daniels here's a pass too hard and too high
01:43from a column now the Hawks turn it over about 14 times per game Orlando and
01:51Atlanta average about the same amount of turnovers per game
01:55once Orlando's on a turnover fast of late has been big knocks down a big three for
02:03the Magic his big key placing this Hawk team you can knock down your threes you
02:09can loosen them up a little bit Jalen Johnson Daniels cramps an offensive
02:15rebound knocked away by Carter Magic steal the ball Jalen sucks cross it back
02:20there's Alexander Walker just took it off getting a little too cute right there
02:24too much people too many people in the vicinity to let that one go
02:28Johnson misfires from three again
02:31a little bit Carol with the basketball it's the deck Jalen Johnson is called for
02:38the foul he wants him a flop call that's being on the deck he wants to flop on
02:44Desmond Bain don't think they're gonna get that that foul on Jalen Johnson his
02:50first it's not on Johnson and saw an Alexander Warner as it should be that's
02:58two quick battles on to kill Alexander Walker
03:02prime responder that it's a great way to get him started with a slam dunk beautiful
03:07feet no prize he could figure it out he could play with any any grouping of guys
03:12just smart play ceiling his guy to pass over the top Alexander Walker buries the
03:19three from up top what a season that young man is having but the magic after a made
03:25bucket again Mendel Carter jr.
03:35Alexander Walker Bain will get called for this foul there we talked about Franz Wagner just his
03:44ability look Daniels a great defenders coming over the top trying to front France doing a good job
03:49holding his spot and a nice pass over the top gets Franz on the scoreboard
03:59Alexander Walker three-point line gets the screen from O'Connor inside shot banked it too strong magic rebound
04:07subs on the moon pulls it up on the right side and we got tangled up with McCollum and a
04:17late
04:17whistle but certainly the right call we're getting we've seen the last couple games or
04:23or the last game I won't say a couple of games but Wendell doing a nice job of running the
04:29floor
04:29getting deep position typically he's going to be picked up by a smaller player and that's exactly
04:35what he did look he's got good position in on McCollum and there's the hold
04:42they're going to say he was not shooting the basketball
04:48Wendell disagreed but it'll be magic ball after the foul on CJ McCollum and McKeel Alexander Walker
04:55takes an early seat with two personal fouls
05:01Banchero
05:04Pockner
05:05now Desmond Bain
05:09Shot clock at two, long three, front spot there, and a rebound for Atlanta, but Coglu
05:17by San Daniels now attacking Desmond Bain into the corner, the three-point shot no good by Gaye and the
05:25magic rebound
05:25checked in just a moment ago for Atlanta as well, and Suggs on the attack, Pockner, extra pass Bain
05:33short on the jumper and the rebound Johnson. I love the pace of the move ball movement very good
05:39yeah K checked in for the kill Alexander Walker, so they're going a little bigger. Ooh, Jalen Johnson threw it
05:44to Jalen Suggs
05:47long teeth
05:49Bain against Mohamed Gaye
05:51nice screen up top
05:52Bain to Banchero, drops it inside to Carter
05:56and again
05:58Wendell establishing
06:00great position in the paint and a foul on Mohamed Gaye
06:05Well, you can tell you tell there's a concerted effort to get Wendell to call off the ball in the
06:10paint
06:10but he's working hard, so there must have been a good conversation
06:15Tristan da Silva
06:17End of the game for France five or so. You got about four minutes there, David. Yep
06:23Wendell had a double-double last night talking about Carter. We didn't talk a lot about him. He was a
06:28huge factor in the win against Phoenix
06:32They turned it over nice and Daniels challenged by myself. Mr. Duck
06:38Goal whips it out to Johnson
06:41Great hustle by Jalen Suggs
06:43CJ McCollum galloping in for an easy bucket
06:50So the magic turning it over for the second time in the court
06:56Carol gives it the Sun
07:00Mancaro setting the screen Suggs to the baseline one-handed push shot is good
07:07How good was Suggs last night for the man shot?
07:12He just sets the table for this team
07:16Especially on the defensive end
07:18CJ McCollum no good for three the rebound chased down by Carter
07:26And you can four point lead of the ball in the first quarter
07:30There's Carol against Mohammed dead
07:33Attacks to his left puts the shot up off the glass no good got it back draws the foul and
07:38will go to the line
07:40For the first time tonight, Atlanta has done a good job defending Paolo these three previous games this year
07:46P5 only shooting 30 percent for the floor against Atlanta in the three games and
07:53they've got
07:54the players defensively
07:56with length and strength
07:59Quinn Snyder saying before the game talking
08:03The keys with Orlando we've got to play without fouling can't put them on the free throw line. That's
08:09That's one of the best ways they scored
08:13So one of the things we got to eliminate is the the silly fouls
08:17I'm sure one of the main players he's talking about is man is man Carol
08:23Hello 33 free throw attempts in three games against Atlanta. That's my math is correct. Jeff. That's 11 per game.
08:30Yeah
08:31Yeah, the big one with what 15
08:34Yeah, and one of those
08:36Well, one out of two, that's good math there. Yeah, subtraction always
08:44Pointly
08:45Jalen Johnson to Okonga we passes it out of the paint. They swing it up top to Johnson
08:51Spinning is Jalen Johnson now fires at the game from the corner. He's sales an air ball over the rim
08:57Magic run to Silva
09:00Sons three balls good in a rebound Johnson
09:06The column is best by Bantaro
09:11Pounding it against Palo now backs it out
09:16It works again pull up jumper for two is no good a rebound grab by Daniels
09:21But tell us three is good second chance three for CJ McCollum. Oh, that's another area
09:27They have done a great job since the all-star break almost 17 points a game
09:32Second chance points
09:33They shoot it so well those long threes
09:36Oh, great hands Bantaro the pitch out the Bain for three points in and out
09:42tough break
09:44Long pass ahead today
09:47Manages not to turn it over
09:51Now gets the pass back for Johnson
09:54Whistles across court that Daniels three-point attempt is no good rebound the bank Carol
10:01I'll walk to get up the floor for a net. It takes here in the first corner Bantaro
10:07He's been out there along with Carter Bain and Suggs the entire quarter
10:13And J Rota Suggs thought about a three works it against McCollum nice pass to the cutting to Silva
10:20Quinn Snyder will take a timeout
10:24Christian to Silva has been in the starting lineup 19 of the last late in the season getting Franz finder
10:30back tonight huge
10:31But that man right there has his team on a roll
10:35I will say this they played ten of those 20 games against teams that are not playoff contenders
10:42postseason contenders they were ten and O's against all of those teams
10:46Johnson with the miss but a rebound again and a second chance
10:51Opportunity is good by Jalen Johnson
10:54Rebounding has been an area that
10:56Quinn Snyder has pushed his group to get better at since the break David
11:01And they have six in the league in rebounding percentage
11:05That into the floor is where they've made the biggest strikes on the offensive end
11:10Already tonight seven second chance points
11:12The Silva no good but tapped in by Goga Batase
11:16He was very active the other night against Phoenix last night against Phoenix
11:22And didn't have big numbers, but his impact was evident
11:25Okagula too strong the shot no good by Johnson poked around and taken by the magic
11:31Finally the Silva shoots it ahead to Kane Kane backs it in count it and a foul
11:38Going to imagine doing a great job running the floor here early in this game
11:43They are make or miss they are running
11:46Jamal Kane doing a good job get out quick and got out wide on the floor great angle coming in
11:52there
11:53And foul is on Gabe Vincent who just had checked in for Atlanta both
11:59Coaches breaking their starting lineups here late in the first quarter
12:04Jonathan Kuminga just checked into the game. Well, he has played well for the Hawks since coming over
12:11From Golden State
12:13It's a trade deadline deal sending Chris Stapps Porzingis to the Warriors three-point play for Jamal Kane
12:22Lando's lead is seven its biggest of the game
12:25So conglue to Johnson three-point threat the magic back off. He'll take that three he'll miss it
12:31And the foul is going to be called on the magic just into Silva. Maybe holding Dyson Daniels Daniels
12:38Very aggressive going to the offensive glass
12:42Really good rebounder almost seven per game from his
12:46wing position
12:50Very valuable player you can tell by how many minutes yeah
12:55Snyder gives it hard to take him off the floor he plays about 33 per game
12:59He's got to believe he's gonna be right up there on those all defensive teams in this show down
13:04Already made one all defensive team
13:08Jalen Johnson the first-time all-star to Silva knocked that ball away
13:11Ricochets around taken by the magic harder and now Kane will set it up
13:18Jock Landale defending palo vancara nice quick move and a power shot no good
13:25Carol on the deck no fouls
13:28Johnson to Vincent his three-point shot is good
13:33Dave Vincent
13:36Taking advantage of a five-on-four Atlanta Hawks situation
13:48He'll hand it off the bench there of palo working again against Landale three-point shot is short the times
13:55a taps the magic control
13:59Jamal King three-point shot Kane
14:02Rebounded by Johnson
14:07That's a driving against back there all banks it in
14:12Duke on Duke
14:16We got a technical on this body healed on the baseline
14:20On the pitch had something to say to referee Ed Molloy what in the world?
14:26Quinn Snyder's asking the same question that we're wondering
14:29What are you thinking?
14:33Magic will take a timeout their lead was seven now to
14:38Come on first I grabbed the game ball and then I turned into a QB which is what I used
14:43to be way back in the day
14:44Palo runs his route and we get that TD pass Palo said it started one game
14:49I looked up and could made eye contact with Bain and I knew exactly what he meant
14:53So I went out ran my route. We both love football
14:55We played growing up and Palo said my job is to shake it up and find a new rope every
15:00game guys
15:01Whatever those two is doing are doing is working. I wouldn't change a thing for their pregame routine now
15:07That's good stuff
15:07But I the only thing I'm wondering is how did Jalen sucks nut get involved in that deal
15:12Almost in the steel but Bain getting it back the left-handed scoop ban it out by the Silva
15:18But cominga is out and a racing down the floor
15:21Rejected Bataze from nowhere
15:24The Silva driving shot no good. He got hacked on the arm and will shoot to what a great effort
15:31by
15:32Goga Bataze
15:34This is just great effort because of the pursuit. This was a one-on-one
15:39Kaminga against Carter and Goga great hustle to get down there and get that one
15:45And there is the foul on Tristan da Silva
15:49To doing what they're supposed to do get into the line here against the Hawks
15:55It has yet to make a trip to this charity stripe
16:00And the silver on the free throw line he
16:03Stepped to the line late in the fourth quarter last night and hit two pressure pack free throws to seal
16:09the win
16:10Against the Phoenix Suns the magic were up by two he knocked down two free throws under five seconds left
16:16to make it a four-point game
16:23Tristan da Silva second year out of the University of Colorado born in Germany
16:31And knocks down both free throws
16:35Orlando's up by five with two thirty four to play in the first quarter Franz Wagner back on the floor
16:40for the magic
16:41Played the first four plus minutes almost five in the first quarter
16:47And CJ McCollum and Goga got him again two block shots for Bataze on consecutive Atlanta possessions
16:56The silver
16:58The silver
16:59The bane to boxer
17:01dispatched the color body throws it out the syllabus want to drive the lot of stuff by Bataze
17:12So be good thought about now takes a three-point shot and it's no good the rebound take it by
17:18the magic
17:19Roger kicking it ahead to Carter
17:24It's as a frozen and too short didn't have enough air under it stolen by McCollum and a foul on
17:30the tazas
17:33Gogu's made some good plays, but that was not one of them now
17:36But what this one was very good CJ McCollum very good one-on-one player go get doing a nice
17:42job
17:43And then how about this play?
17:45Tristan da Silva gets slammed down a step up and Goga wide open under the hoop
17:54So the call is a take foul on Bataze making matters even worse
17:59For the magic the free throw though is no good by McCollum
18:04C.J. McCollum a a career 80% free throw shooter
18:11Goga had a brief word with a head coach
18:15And he's back ready to go
18:20Kill Alexander Walker just checked back in
18:23Javon Carter draws that assignment
18:28Landale bounces it to Alexander Walker. He kisses it on the glass
18:34Magic running again Wagner driving and laying it in with Landale helpless to defend. This is what we thought we
18:41would get
18:42You know Franz a great runner in transition
18:46And a quick move by comingo right to the rim france gonna pick up that foul
18:55It's just great kick ahead a lot of the guys are looking for each other and france
19:00Well, we saw that early in the year a lot france getting out and running and there's the foul as
19:05cominga gets to the line
19:10Cominga switches in the free throw
19:13Former Golden State warrior number seven pick in the twenty one nba draft france bachner went number eight to orlando
19:23And there is a entanglement
19:28Zachary resized shay former number one pick from a year ago picking up the person
19:35Those are the fouls that quinn schneider does not want to have
19:45The fouls on the line for the first time
19:47In the ball game has four points already
19:51And his first free throw attempt on his return is no good
19:5785 percent free throw shooter
19:59In his career it was december 7th when he suffered the left ankle injury
20:04And to be honest you and I were there jeff and we thought it might be a season-ending injury
20:10But he has come back and yeah here. He is with seven games to play he's missed enough games
20:15It was almost an entire season injury. It was at 47 games. We tried to come back a couple of
20:21times
20:25Well, hopefully this one is here for keeps the rest of this year alexander walker
20:31Mounding it against Javon Carter
20:33T.J. McCollum will try fire the pass out of bounds he split the difference between two teammates
20:40That's pretty good defense though first to get it out of alexander walker's hands and then the pressure
20:45On mccollum forcing the turnover. That's five now on atlanta
20:49T.J. McCollum will try to get it out of bounds
20:54Bogner and bataze run a high screen and roll
20:57Bogner jet howard back to bronze long three 30 footer is short rebound alexander walker
21:0918 on the shot clock 22 on the game clock magic with a five point first quarter lead
21:39The magic settle for a three-point advantage they led by as many as seven in the protect their
21:45Real estate in that five through ten battle in the east
21:52Only seven games left counting tonight for the man just the hawks have played one more game than orlando
21:59Here's alexander walker tough shot man. He is just in such a great rhythm
22:06They're looking for it to nice little dribble handoff tomorrow right there, but elevation and the smooth release too quick
22:15With that pass picked off the deflection now the steel and alexander walker feeds mccullum
22:22driving inside
22:24The ball knocked away from research a but he gets it back and puts it in and gives atlanta a
22:30two-point lead
22:33Lando turning it over for the fourth time
22:42And a foul is called on da silva no shot. They'll be on the side
22:51Boy is as good as jaylen played last night. David. That was the one area
22:56He talked about it with dante and brian in the post game and the turnovers
23:03Didn't see that in life action
23:06Silver catching an elbow to the head
23:09The column cannot convert that driving attack and is rebounded by game
23:15Nice job getting up hard
23:18Contest that shot the silver mounts past to carton. That's good for two
23:26Wendell the atlanta native ties to score at 30
23:32Not a physical big gun
23:36Fakes and fires got it for two
23:39Domingo in the month of march averaging nine points per game for atlanta. He's been in and out of the
23:45lineup with a sore knee
23:48That's pretty good tonight
23:49Jalen subs pushes one up no good and cominga cannot control the rebound. It's magic ball
23:57When you look at when they when they go to their pitch david, I mean they've got
24:01They've added guys like kumika come out give you a little bit of scoring

30:18A lot of action going on behind the screen away for paulo bank hero and
30:24Weak side defenders occupied long enough for jaylen to get that one

31:01Johnson

32:28I hope there's not
32:32Jack landale with the finish over the top of the taza
32:36First bucket for landale and atlanta's lead is 10
32:44That's knocked away from bancaro the shot clock is down to 12 as he picks up the ball
32:54And the ball is out of bounds for orlando is just all out of sorts
33:03That's great defense by daniels that time on that close out forced
33:09Paolo to lose the basketball and then able to challenge on that one by the silva in atlanta
33:1627 to 14 in the quarter
33:19I don't know how to seven point lead in the first
33:26And the foul is going to be called on bit taza
33:31Orlando's over the limit penalty situation sends gabe vincent to the free throw line
33:51And he's been a settling force in the backcourt for their second unit
33:56He's been around good pro
34:02Playing in his 20th game with the atlanta hawks
34:12And he got two free throws to give the atlanta hawks a 12-point lead they've scored 10 unanswered points
34:21Malo vancaro
34:24Spinning shot high is no good
34:27In and out rebounded by nakeel alexander walker
34:32Daniels
34:34Walker relocates into the right corner
34:36In and out for three
34:37And to catch a break there just really good basketball
34:41Alexander Walker giving it up and then relocated into that corner cannot lose him most open he's been tonight
34:50Carter
34:52Orlando can't buy a basket
34:57Jalen Johnson drives off the silver puts up the shot swishes it in
35:04another
35:06Jamal Mosley timeout with 417 to go in the second quarter
35:11in Atlanta trying to run away from the magic in their own building April Fool's joke on your plans
35:21Quinn Snyder has his team playing at a high level and they have really laid it on the magic in
35:28the second quarter
35:31Got now running the floors
35:34Living the magic's ability to touch the paint
35:38Good place set up right there France can't get it to go knocked out good defense sir
35:46Ron's back on the floor he has played
35:49Seven minutes in the first half four minutes to go in the second quarter
35:55Redale Carter back Jalen sucks a three-point shot
35:58It's off the front of the rim and rebounded by Jalen Johnson. That's his ninth rebound
36:03Just one of thirteen for distance
36:08McCollum to
36:09Back to C.J. McCollum
36:13Ocoglu inside push shot no good rebounded by the magic window
36:21Jalen Sons turns the corner nice pass the Carter
36:26Shoot comes up short off the front of the rim
36:30Pass skip the head to Ocoglu and he's fouled on the shot. We'll go to the line
36:36That's from Daniels
36:38again
36:40Clint Snyder saying before the game
36:43He wishes they would run a little bit more
36:46This is how you do it when you got your center running right down the middle of the floor and
36:51Daniels with enough confidence to throw that pass in traffic
36:56The foul is given to Bancara. That's his first
37:04This is a three-point opportunity
37:09When Atlanta Hawks pouring it on the magic of missing nine straight shots
37:15In their last ten possessions, they've turned it over the other time
37:20Sucks to Carter. There's a basket
37:24Jalen sucks assisting Wendell Carter jr. A double figures with ten points
37:30Jalen Johnson Alexander
37:32Walker
37:33Berries another three
37:35He does not need a lot of space does he?
37:38Quick release green left on that shot. He was six for 16 for the floor against Boston a Monday night
37:45Having a night tonight
37:47Magic miss another three-point shot one of 14 now
37:51But a foul is called on Dyson Daniels on the rebound Daniels holding on to Desmond Bain trying to get
37:58in there and
37:59Get a second chance opportunity
38:03It started very quickly, but it's cooled off
38:13Desmond Bain
38:15Or designed Alexander Walker three-point attempt another miss and another rebound for Daniels
38:23Run again this
38:26Shots by the magic opening the door for a lot of fast-break opportunities
38:31Alexander Walker unable to connect
38:35Hello, Vancaro no room in the paint
38:38Jalen sucks
38:39Defended by Johnson
38:42Vancaro trying to muscle one up he scores
38:45First basket of the night hallowed first field goal
38:49Only three points for p5 in the first half
38:56Jalen Johnson
39:00Jalen Johnson
39:00Finder picks him up on a switch and we got a foul on Bain that will put Walker on the
39:05line
39:10Keel Alexander Walker's his confidence level is just on the charts. He got into the body of Bain. Yep
39:19Forced to all of that contact
39:22I'll say
39:26White lights on when he sees
39:28Lando Magic.
39:31Last time the Magic played Atlanta
39:34March 16th.
39:35He had 41 points, made 9 of 14
39:38three-pointers.
39:39He's on his way in this game, David.
39:41Yeah, that's his career high.
39:48He's got 20.
39:51Tonight.
39:52Halfway there, almost.
39:54Four of six from downtown.
39:55Seven of ten for the field.
39:58Lando's up by 17 points with two
40:00minutes to go in the court.
40:02Johnson just took it away from
40:03Bancaro.
40:07Johnson, driving in the P5 and a
40:09foul on Bancaro.
40:11That's a frustration foul right
40:13there.
40:13Vallo not happy with himself for
40:15that turnover.
40:20So Johnson will go to the line.
40:22The foul on Bancaro is his second.
40:26Jalen Johnson, an all-star for the
40:27first time in his career.
40:29Fifth year out of Duke.
40:31He did not play on a really good Duke
40:34team.
40:34They were 13 and 11.
40:36It was one of the COVID years.
40:38He didn't finish the season.
40:40No.
40:40He got ready for the NBA.
40:41Yes, he did.
40:42He pulled himself out.
40:46Pulled himself out and just started
40:48getting ready for the draft.
40:51A lot of people questioned his, that
40:54decision, I believe.
40:55He felt the number 20 in the draft
40:57that year.
40:592021 draft, Wade.
41:01A lot of good players in there.
41:02Yes, sir.
41:04Jalen Johnson, first trip to the
41:06free throw line tonight.
41:09Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, we've
41:12already talked about.
41:13Jonathan Kuminga in that one as
41:15well.
41:20Two free throws for Jalen Johnson,
41:22a 19-point Atlanta Hawks lead.
41:25Boy, this second quarter has been a
41:27nightmare for Orlando.
41:30That's a foul on Okongru, reaching
41:33over the back.
41:33That's only the fourth team foul,
41:35the first and the final two minutes
41:37on Atlanta.
41:40So the Magic still are not shooting
41:42free throws here in the quarter.
41:57Franz Wagner, Klober, got it, foul.
42:01And what opportunity for Franz Wagner.
42:05Franz, he's been demanding the
42:07basketball.
42:08He doesn't care the Dyson Daniels,
42:10all defensive team players on him.
42:12It's a great job of going across his
42:15body, getting a contact and finish.
42:19Got the foul on Daniels, and an and
42:23one opportunity for Franz.
42:24It's good.
42:26So Wagner with eight first-half
42:28points in nine minutes.
42:321.35 left in the court.
42:35CJ McCollings, Jalen Suggs just took
42:37it away from him.
42:38Suggs is out and running.
42:40Bain attacking, dumping it to Carter,
42:43ill-advised, should have shot it.
42:45O'Connor, doing a good job of playing
42:47kind of in between the two players.
42:51Alexander Walker, what a move
42:53and the finish.
42:54Well, he's got it all going on.
42:56He does.
42:56That was Danson and Branson and
42:59looking down that watch.
43:03There's some moves there.
43:06And that'll be a foul on Orlando.
43:09That sucks.
43:10Set the screen.
43:14Give it back to Atlanta there.
43:17Sitting on 67 points with still a
43:19minute left.
43:20There's the little brush there.
43:26Eight first-half turnovers on the
43:28Magic.
43:28You talked about it earlier.
43:30We've been a little turnover happy in
43:32the last couple of games.
43:36Alexander Walker is having his way.
43:38Yep.
43:39On the other end.
43:41Sloppy ball handling, but Johnson
43:43recovers the dribble and hits a
43:45fadeaway jumper.
43:47And they can do no wrong in the
43:49second quarter.
43:49A 20-point Atlanta lead.
43:52And the Kia center crowd is
43:54completely out of the game.
43:58Carter fouled by Alexander Walker.
44:04The Kiale picked up two early fouls.
44:07Had to check out of the game.
44:08That's number three now.
44:09So here comes Gabe Vincent.
44:13He has 17 points in the second
44:15quarter.
44:17Alexander Walker.
44:1922 in the first half.
44:27Wendell on the line for the first
44:28time in the game.
44:29The Magic have shot 13 free throws.
44:35That three-point shot has failed him
44:38tonight in the first half.
44:40And haven't been able to stop the
44:41Hawks, David.
44:42I mean, you look at it.
44:4232 points in the paint.
44:45You're getting to the line.
44:46You're doing all the things you're
44:47supposed to do, but the defensive
44:50end, the long missed shots and
44:52the turnovers helped the Hawks
44:55jump out to this 18-point lead.
44:58Those missed threes.
45:00Yeah.
45:00Long rebounds often start a fast
45:02break.
45:06And now we're inside of 30 seconds
45:08to play in the first half.
45:10CJ McCollum.
45:14Keeps that dribble alive.
45:16Two-man game with Johnson.
45:18Makes the threes, drives in,
45:20lobs it up, and a foul.
45:24Looks like, was he throwing the
45:26lob to Okongwu?
45:27Think so.
45:28Now words are being exchanged
45:30between Bain and Okongwu.
45:34No law of law between those two.
45:41The foul is on Bain.
45:44And that's number three on Dez.
45:46It'll send Okongwu to the
45:48free-throw line again.
45:54Atlanta, a chance to
45:56get the lead back to 20
45:58and score 71 points
46:00in the first half.
46:03Magic so good
46:06defensively last night
46:07against a very good Phoenix Suns team,
46:10but they've had no answers for Atlanta.
46:12And a lot of it because of
46:13their poor offense.
46:14The poor offense has
46:16kind of fueled a lot of what
46:18Atlanta has done.
46:20Look at their 14 fast break points.
46:22Just play too much.
46:29Okongwu gets one out of two final seconds of the quarter.
46:33Thugs on the handoff to Valker.
46:38Vankero is bumped.
46:39Oh, that'll be a goal-tending.
46:41Yeah.
46:43Yeah, they did see it.
46:45Maybe they missed it, but
46:47they're going to give it
46:48the bucket
46:49to Vankero.
46:50That's not a good play
46:51by Jalen Johnson.
46:53He committed the foul
46:54and then he goaltended the shot.
46:56Yeah, no doubt
46:56that ball's on its way down.
46:58I'm not sure
46:58it had even had a chance
46:59to get there,
47:00but just his
47:02play on the basketball.
47:07Two bad plays
47:08on one play
47:09by Jalen Johnson.
47:11And Vankero
47:12is the beneficiary.
47:14Five points
47:15in the first half.
47:18And Paolo
47:19at the free-throw line.
47:31Johnson inbounds
47:32to McComb.
47:34Four seconds left
47:35in the half.
47:37Jalen Johnson
47:37will pull up
47:38and choose the jumper
47:39and bank it in
47:40at the buzzer.
47:42Jalen Johnson
47:43with the buzzer.
