Keaton Wallce logs triple-double in the final game of the season
The play-in matchup is set for Tuesday. It will be the 7-seed Orlando Magic versus your 8-seed Atlanta Hawks. The winner will advance to the playoffs as the official 7-seed, while the loser will have to play for the 8-seed. That being said, the Magic and Hawks face off just two days prior — with both teams resting key players. The starting lineup included Keaton Wallace, Terance Mann, Zaccharie Risacher, Mouhamed Gueye, and Dominick Barlow.
The score was tied at 11 before Quin Snyder’s first timeout. Garrison Mathews entered the game shortly after for the first time since March 25th. Daeqwon Plowden also saw the floor in the first. The Hawks led 31-24 entering the second quarter. Vit Krejci sank two triples and had a game-high eight points.
In the second quarter, Jacob Toppin made his Hawks debut, draining a three-pointer for his first points. The Hawks led 58-46 at half. Mathews scored nine, while Barlow, Krejci, and Topping each scored eight.
Krejci and Toppin would start the second half in place of Risacher and Gueye. Mann scored 10 points in the first seven minutes of the third, extending the Hawks’ lead out to 15. Wallace had already logged a double-double with points and assists.
