<p>The Atlanta Hawks lose consecutive games for the first time this season with a blowout loss to the Orlando Magic. </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> drop their second straight game for the first time this season with a 109-92 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>. Atlanta's offensive struggles continued as they once again failed to produce points with any type of rhythm. The loss snaps Atlanta's 11 game winning streak against Orlando and is their first loss to Orlando in seven games at Philips Arena.</p>
<p>The Hawks got off to a quick start scoring the first seven points of the game and forcing an early Orlando timeout. The Magic came right back and closed the first quarter with a 26-25 lead. Atlanta went back in front in the second thanks to a nice first half from <span>Jeff Teague</span>.</p>
<p>Atlanta scored the first four points of the second half and extended their lead to 57-49 early on. Orlando came roaring back and an <span>Arron Afflalo</span> three put them in front 69-67 with just over five minutes to go in the 3rd. That bucket was the beginnings of a 27-6 run that would stretch into the fourth quarter and effectively take Atlanta out of the game.</p>
<p>It was the second straight game where Atlanta's offense stagnated. Their struggles in the third quarter started with turnovers which ignited Orlando's fast break. As the Hawks started to struggle offensively they seemed to lose focus on defense as <span>Jameer Nelson</span> beat them on a couple of nice back door cuts.</p>
<p>Teague finished with 15 points and six assists for the Hawks but also turned the ball over four times, three of which came in the decisive third quarter. <span>Al Horford</span> also finished with 15 points and five rebounds on 7-10 shooting. <span>Lou Williams</span> chipped in 11 points off the bench while <span>Paul Millsap</span> finished with 10.</p>
<p><span>Kyle Korver</span> extended his consecutive games streak with a made three to 88 games in the second quarter but it would be his only basket of the game going 1-6 along with three turnovers. <span>Shelvin Mack</span> sparked the Hawks with six points and two assists in eight minutes of the first half before leaving the game with an ankle injury. Mack did not return in the second half.</p>
<p>Afflalo led the Magic with 26 points on 9-18 shooting including 4-7 from deep. <span>Victor Oladipo</span> and <span>Andrew Nicholson</span> finished with 18 points each while <span>Nikola Vucevic</span> added 12 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Orlando shot 51 percent for the game and outrebounded the Hawks 43-35.</p>
<p>Things don't get any easier for the Hawks who head to Houston for a matchup with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thedreamshake.com/">Rockets</a> on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Kyle Korver missed his first two attempts but extended his consecutive games streak with a made three to 88 games with a second quarter three against the Orlando Magic. </p> <p><span>Kyle Korver</span> kept his consecutive games streak with a made three-pointer alive Tuesday night with a second quarter three against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>. Korver's streak is now at 88 games and just one behind Dana Barros' all-time mark of 89.</p>
<p>Korver has a chance to tie the record on Wednesday when the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Hawks</a> travel to Houston to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thedreamshake.com/">Rockets</a>. If successful, Korver would be in line to break the record on Friday at home against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/">Dallas Mavericks</a>.</p>
<p>Kyle came into tonight's game shooting 52 percent from three-point range but is just 1-4 at halftime for three points.</p>

<p>Shelvin Mack suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter against the Orlando Magic and is questionable to return. </p> <p><span>Shelvin Mack</span> left Tuesday's game against the <a href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Orlando Magic</a> in the second quarter with an ankle injury and is questionable to return. Mack appeared to step on the foot of Magic center <span>Nikola Vucevic</span> and limped his way off the court. He was off to a good start in the game with six points and two assists in just over eight minutes of action.</p>
<p>If Mack is unable to go in the second half, <span>Mike Budenholzer</span> could elect to go with <span>Lou Williams</span> at the point or turn to rookie Dennis Schröder who has fallen out of the rotation of late.</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>Mack is <a href="https://twitter.com/RKalland/status/405532731628466176">unlikely to travel with the Hawks to Houston</a> due to the ankle injury. He will likely be reevaluated once the team returns to Atlanta.</p>

<p>The Atlanta Hawks look to get back in the win column Tuesday night when they take on the Orlando Magic at Philips Arena. </p> <p>The <a href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Atlanta Hawks</a> haven't lost consecutive games yet this season and they will put that to the test Tuesday night at Philips Arena when they take on the <a href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Orlando Magic</a>. A subpar fourth quarter cost Atlanta a win on Saturday when they fell to the <a href="https://www.celticsblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Boston Celtics</a> 94-87.</p>
<p>The Magic come in having lost four straight games and at 4-9 on the season. Atlanta took the first matchup between the two clubs by a score of 104-94. <span>Jeff Teague</span> led six Hawks players in double figures with 19 points and 13 assists. <span>Arron Afflalo</span> led the Magic with 21 points but <span>Al Horford</span> and company held <span>Nikola Vucevic</span> to just seven points and six rebounds in 33 minutes.</p>
<p>Recent history is certainly in the Hawks' favor as they have defeated the Magic 11 straight times and seven straight at Philips Arena. This Magic team however will look slightly different than the one they defeated earlier this season.</p>
<p>Orlando<a href="http://www.nba.com/magic/news/denton-magic-hope-be-fully-healthy-trip-atlanta"> could be at full strength for the first time this season</a> against the Hawks after getting back <span>Glen Davis</span> and <span>Tobias Harris</span> over the weekend. Rookie Victor Oladipo came off the bench for Orlando in the first meeting and finished with five points and two assists on 2-8 shooting. He has since moved into the starting lineup alongside starting point guard <span>Jameer Nelson</span> as <span>Jacque Vaughn</span> has opted to go small recently.</p>
<p>The Hawks need to be aggressive in their attack against the Magic after shooting a season low 12 free throws in Saturday's loss to the Celtics. Despite Orlando's smaller lineup, holding Vucevic in check will be key again. Vucevic comes in averaging 15.0 points and 10.7 rebounds and will need another solid performance from Horford against him.</p>
<p>Tip off at Philips Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast locally on SportSouth and can be heard over the airways on 92.9 FM "The Game" with veteran broadcaster Steve Holman on the call.</p>

<p>Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams is progressing nicely in his return from a knee injury and could see his restriction on back-to-backs lifted next month. </p> <p><span>Lou Williams</span> is expected to be available for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> on Tuesday when they host the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a> at Philips Arena. He is unlikely to make the trip with the team to Houston on Wednesday due to the back-to-back situation. The Hawks have been cautious with Williams since he returned and he has yet to play in a back-to-back situation. However, <a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/atlanta-hawks/2013/nov/25/williams-makes-most-his-day/">a report by the AJC indicates</a> that the back-to-back restriction could soon be lifted.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Hopefully after this little stretch here by the time we get to our next back-to-back he would be cleared," Budenholzer said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Hawks close out November with another back-to-back situation on Friday and Saturday. Atlanta only has one back-to-back scheduled for the entire month of December and by that time Williams could be all the way back.</p>
<p>Lou has appeared in three games so far this season and is averaging 16 minutes per contest. In those contests he is averaging 6.3 points and 3.0 assists.</p>
