Hawks vs Magic: Solid or Sleeper? | Atlanta Hawks News

ESPN’s Zach Kram ranks the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic as “solid Southeast squads” — promising but not yet championship-caliber. Both teams finished last season neck-and-neck (46-45 for Hawks, 45-45 for Magic), nearly made the playoffs, and made big offseason moves: Hawks added elite wings Dort and Wiggins, Magic brought in new coach Sean Sweeney. The Hawks, who won the division last year and stunned the Knicks in the playoffs, boast a loaded roster with McCollum, Johnson, and Okongwu expected to lead the charge. Can they finally break through and win a playoff series? Their season opener against the Magic sets the stage for what could be a thrilling battle between two rising forces in the East.
