Mo Evans led the Magic with a career-high 27 points; 23 in the 2nd half. 6 other Magic players scored in double figures as we pulled ahead and kept the lead in the second half. The first half was a major disappointment as we looked like the Magic of old, struggling with the Hawks. SVG must have had a convincing halftime chat with the team because they came out ready. We bumped the lead to double digits and despite some comeback attempts, we didn't let them challenge much.
During much of the second half Coach Stan Van Gundy went with a lineup of:
Foyle
Garrity
Bogans
Redick
Dooling
This lineup would normally be horrid on both ends of the court. Yet, tonight they held their own and play good defense. That kept the Hawks at bay and the lead in double digits.
Dwight - 15 points/13 rebounds
Hedo - 17 points/8 assists
Rashard - 12 points/5 rebounds/5 steals
Marvin Williams and Salim Stoudemire led the Hawks with 16. We luckily kept Joe Johnson at bay for tonight's game and he finished 5-12 with 10 points, 3 assists, 3 assists.
Recap & Boxscore
Our next and LAST game of the season is tomorrow night at home against the playoff-bound Washington Wizards.

As citizens of the NBA, it falls on the rest of us to help Save the Sonics! I beg you to please post your team/owner's information with the following. Thanks!
We Miami Heat fans have put together a proposed plan of action here: http://thesouthfloridafan.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-help-seattle-keep-their-sonics.html
It involves this:
IMPLORE EVERY NBA TEAM BLOG TO POST THE ADDRESS OF THEIR OWNERS. IN ADDITION, LETTERS SHOULD INCLUDE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
"As a form of protest, we vow to boycott any game next season in which the Oklahoma City Sonics play, whether it be in our arena or watching it on television."
Spread this around as much as you can. It's going to take the other teams to prevent this from happening. Let's save the Sonics!
