How the game was lost: Tobias Harris hit a shot at the buzzer to give the Magic the one-point victory just moments after a 3-point basket by Atlanta's Kyle Korver had put the Hawks up 99-98.

Turning point: The Hawks led 94-91 with 1:57 to play, but Orlando went on a 6-0 run to put Atlanta in a hole that could not be overcome at the finish, despite a pair of free throws by Jeff Teague and Korver's 3-pointer in the closing minutes.

Number: 44. Points in the paint by the Magic, who benefitted from the return of center Nikola Vucevic (18 points), who had missed the previous six games with a back injury.

Next: The Hawks return home to face the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
