He followed with a dagger 3-pointer with 26.2 seconds remaining to make it 102-97.

The Hawks moved back ahead and extended their lead to as many as seven points in the second quarter before the Magic again closed strong and pulled within 52-50 at the break.

Atlanta scored nine of the first 11 points to start the second half and took its biggest lead at 61-52, but the Magic again rallied to pull within two points heading into the fourth.
