Game Thread: Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic

The Atlanta Hawks did not have a wild trade deadline day but, on Thursday evening, the team will take on the Orlando Magic, who were involved in a bigger way. Orlando sent point guard Elfrid Payton to Phoenix and, as a result, the home team is in a state of flux.
