<p>Josh Smith and Al Horford combined to score 56 points and grab 22 rebounds as the Atlanta Hawks scored blow out win over the Orlando Magic 108-76. </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> closed out the first half of the NBA season with a 108-76 blowout win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>. The Hawks will head into the All-Star break having won their last two road games and with a 29-22 record.</p>
<p>Atlanta jumped out to a 25-19 lead after one but blew the game wide open in the second quarter. The Hawks outscored the Magic 33-17 in the second period and extended their lead to 57-36 at the half. Atlanta built their lead by hammering away at the Magic on the glass where they finished with a 54-41 advantage including 17 on the offensive end.</p>
<p><span>Josh Smith</span> continued his torrid stretch finishing with 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Smith was a red hot 13-20 from the field and 2-3 from beyond-the-arc. The only negative to Smith's game was his 2-7 mark from the free throw line. <span>Al Horford</span> had a double-double at halftime and finished with 26 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. <span>John Jenkins</span> scored nine points off the bench while <span>Jeff Teague</span> finished with seven points and 11 assists.</p>
<p><span>Jameer Nelson</span> and <span>Andrew Nicholson</span> led the way for the Magic with 10 points each. E'Twaun Moore and <span>Arron Afflalo</span> added nine points each.</p>
<p>Atlanta led by as many as 38 points in the second half and continued their recent domination of the Magic as they notched their ninth straight victory in the series.</p>
<p>Atlanta will now utilize the All-Star break as a time to heal up some nagging injuries and refocus for the second half. Jeff Teague is the only player that will be heading to Houston to take part in the skills challenge on Saturday night. Atlanta will be back in action on February 20 when they return home to take on the Miami <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Heat</a>.</p>

<p>Atlanta Hawks look for their second straight win and hope to head into the All-Star break on a high note when they take on the Orlando Magic Wednesday night. </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> look to head into the All-Star break on a high note after when they take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a> Wednesday night at the Amway Center. The Hawks have won both meetings with the Magic this season and have owned the season series of late. </p>
<p>Including the playoffs, Atlanta has won six straight over Orlando and has taken the last eight regular season contests. The Magic's first season of the post <span>Dwight Howard</span> era has been anything but rosy as they have stumbled to a 15-36 record and recently suffered a 12-game losing streak. </p>
<p>The Hawks have been searching for consistency since a 20-10 start to the season. Atlanta is just 9-12 since January 1 but have won two of their last three and captured a rare 105-101 win in Dallas over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/">Mavericks</a> on Monday. </p>
<p><span>Josh Smith</span> led the way in that game finishing with 26 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. Smith's name has been the subject of numerous trade rumors but he is playing some of his best basketball of the season of late averaging 20.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists over his last nine games. </p>
<p>Another player that has been putting up solid numbers is point guard <span>Jeff Teague</span> who added 20 points and nine assists in Monday's win in Dallas. Teague is averaging 20.6 points and 8.6 assists over his last five games while shooting 56 percent from the floor. He has scored at least 20 points in each of his last four games. </p>
<p>The Hawks come into Wednesday's game relatively healthy. <span>Kyle Korver</span> was a game-time decision on Monday with an ankle injury but was able to play off the bench. The Magic will be without both <span>Al Harrington</span> and <span>Glen Davis</span> who are out but could get back <span>Hedo Turkoglu</span> who is listed as questionable. </p>
