The Hawks beat the Magic 124-112 on Monday night. Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored a career-high 41 points. He also made nine three-pointers, which was one away from tying the Atlanta franchise record for three-pointers made in a single game. In his attempt to write his name in Hawks history he made a grave mistake and upset some Orlando players. In the process he set off a brief skirmish after the final buzzer.
With the Hawks up 12 and less than half-a-minute remaining in the fourth quarter Alexander-Walker went and got the ball from CJ McCollum. And then he did the unthinkable—he shot the ball.
