Atlanta Hawks take a 2-1 lead over Orlando Magic with a close victory.

The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Orlando Magic 88-84. Jamal Crawford has been something else and has led the Hawks with 23 points. Joe Johnson added 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Josh Smith added a double double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Al Horford added 13 points and 7 rebounds. For the Orlando Magic Dwight Howard led with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Jason Richardson added 14 points and 9 rebounds. Jameer Nelson added a double double with 13 points, 10 assists and added 5 rebounds. This game was a close one but in the end Atlanta just played better. I now wonder if Dwight Howard will be moving on from a different team and will be demanding a trade. Congratulations to the Atlanta Hawks for winning game 3 and thanks for reading my NBA Blog.
