Hawks Vs. Magic Final Score: Orlando Forces Game 6 In Atlanta
Dwight Howard was able to take some much-needed time off, playing only 29 minutes after being on the floor for almost the entire series thus far. He scored just eight points, but was able to grab eight rebounds and hammer a dunk on Zaza Pachulia, who's not popular in Orlando.
Atlanta led by just one point -- when Josh Smith hit a free throw in the opening minute. Smith finished with a game-high 22 points and combined with Al Horford to produce 25 rebounds.
