Al Horford hit 9-of-13 shots for 24 points and 10 rebounds against Dwight Howard in Thursday's Game 2 loss to the Magic.
Horford did everything he could to help the Hawks win, and Atlanta held a halftime lead. But Joe Johnson hit just 5-of-16 shots for 19 points, and may be in the process of playing himself out of a max-contract in these playoffs. Josh Smith scored 18 points, but didn't block a shot, while Jamal Crawford chipped in with 23 in the loss. The Hawks may squeak out a win or two in this series, but don't appear capable of beating the Magic four times out of seven.
