Orlando Coach Chuck Daly said his team forgot to do the “little things” Monday night, and it cost the Magic a big winning streak.

The Atlanta Hawks had a 50-34 rebounding advantage, and the Magic had 17 turnovers and 21 fouls, giving the Hawks a 114-110 victory and ending the Magic’s 10-game home winning streak.

“When you wear the target on your back, you have to know this is what you’re going to face on a given night,” Daly said. “There are no nights off if we want to continue to win at home.”
