ORLANDO, Fla. -- All-Star Trae Young scored 22 points and six assists to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 130-109 rout of the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night at the Amway Center.
This was the final game for the Magic before the All-Star game break with Anthony Cole leading Orlando with a team-high 23 points. He also had seven rebounds.
Rookie Jalen Suggs contributed 19 points in the losing effort, the Magic's fourth straight loss.
Franz Wagner scored 12 points and Mohamed Bamba contributed 11 points but it wasn't nearly enough to offset the firepower of the Hawks.
Young played only 25 minutes after scoring 41 points in Atlanta's home victory over Cleveland on Tuesday night, but made the most of his shooting opportunities in a balanced Atlanta offensive night: The Hawks made 18 of 32 3-point shots and overall shot 50 percent beyond the arc.
Bogan Bogdanovic led Atlanta with 23 points.
Anthony, who was questionable with an ankle injury, played 25 minutes.
