The buzzard bellowed at the State Farm Arena with a final score of 109-92. The score speaks louder than words, and there’s no denying that Orlando Magic is feeling the loss of Paolo Banchero. In the first half, Orlando Magic held a slight edge with a score of 48-45. In part to De’Andre Hunter, who scored in the second quarter despite his knee injury.

Even with the Hawk’s Trae Young unable to play due to an injury, they revitalized in the second half. Although Bogdanovic evened the playing field with a three-pointer, Jalen Johnson ultimately broke it from an and-one layup.
Dejounte Murray played triples back to back in the third quarter. Scoring twenty-five points from Murray alone, the Hawks continue to dominate despite Orlando City’s tough opposition. It is critical to note that this is Orlando Magic’s first loss in weeks, and many hope this is a fluke – not a pattern.
