Onyeka Okongwu had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Hawks, who won for the second straight time to conclude a 3-2 homestand.

Banchero led Orlando with 26 points. Wendell Carter Jr. scored 18 points but missed a crucial free throw with 40.8 seconds remaining. Jalen Suggs added 16 points for the Magic, who lost for the fourth time in five games.

There were 10 ties and 10 lead changes in the first half. The Magic used a 10-point run to take a 40-34 lead and were up 51-49 at halftime.

Orlando took a seven-point lead in the third quarter on Caleb Houstan’s 3-pointer at 6:50, but Atlanta came back to tie the game 70-70 on a drive by Bogdan Bogdanovic and took a 78-76 lead into the fourth quarter.
