Coming off a win in New York, the Orlando Magic kick off their Dwight Howard reunion tour week at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
After kicking off the New Year with an uninspiring loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Magic bounced back with a strong defensive performance in the second half against the Knicks. Shots began falling once again, and the Magic looked like a team that's capable of competing with and beating anyone.
Now, with a West Coast road trip looming, the Magic have a chance to carry some much needed momentum into their six game trip with homes games against the Hawks and Houston Rockets on Friday night.
Game time is set for 7:00 PM Eastern at Amway Center. The game can be seen on FoxSports Florida, and heard on ESPN580 Orlando.
