Saturday night, the Atlanta Hawks will visit the Orlando Magic in the 2nd game of a home and home series between the two teams.

The Atlanta Hawks will make the short trip from Atlanta to Orlando after Friday night’s opening game of a home and home series with the Orlando Magic.  The Hawks have been one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference this season and will look to continue their winning ways with two games against a team that isn’t one of the Eastern Conference’s best squads.  In recent games, the Hawks have given their best performances on both ends of the court and it’s expected that they will do the same against Orlando, a team that they have dominated in recent meetings. 

The Orlando Magic haven’t been able to string together more than two wins in a row so far this season but they have had no trouble putting together losing streaks.   Orlando hasn’t been able to string together games where they have played complete games the entire way and it’s doubtful that they will turn things around against the Hawks.  Atlanta has had Orlando’s number in recent games and unless the Magic can learn something in their Friday night game to use against Atlanta on Saturday, the Magic will be looking at another loss.    If the Magic want to prevent that fate, they will have to find a way to defend better and to get the most of their offensive opportunities.
