Magic 109, Hawks 92: Arron Afflalo's 26 points lifted Orlando to its first road victory of the season.
Afflalo buried four 3-pointers to pace the Magic, who came into the game 0-5 away from Orlando. Victor Oladipo and Andrew Nicholson added 18 points each while Nikola Vucevic recorded his eighth double-double with 12 points and 15 rebounds.
Al Horford and Jeff Teague had 15 points apiece for the Hawks, who were outscored 46-26 in the paint. Kyle Korver stroked a long-range shot from the top of the arc with 4:05 remaining in the first half to extend his streak of games with a 3-pointer to 88, one shy of Dana Barros' league record.
Nicholson reeled off Orlando's final seven points of the first quarter to put the Magic ahead 26-25. Six early points from Shelvin Mack to open the second quarter helped moved the Hawks ahead by six and they fended off a pair of Orlando rallies to carry a 53-49 lead into the break.
The Magic caught fire in the second half, making six of seven shots prior to the midway point of the third quarter and getting a three-point play from Afflalo with 2:24 left to build an 85-73 advantage entering the fourth. Orlando carried its momentum into the fourth, making its first three shots and stretching the lead to 21 on Oladipo's 3-pointer with 7:11 left.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Mack left the game late in the second quarter with a left ankle sprain after stepping on Vucevic's foot. He did not return. ... PG Louis Williams had 11 points and eight assists off the bench for the Hawks. ... Jameer Nelson had just eight points on 3-of-11 shooting but dished out a game-high 10 assists.
