ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> scored 32 points, Jalen Johnson<\/a> added 18 points and 14 rebounds, and the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> routed the Orlando Magic<\/a> 130-101 on Wednesday night for their 17th victory in their last 19 games.<\/p>\n

Dyson Daniels<\/a> had 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Hawks, who shot 51% for the game and had a 52-36 rebound advantage. Johnson came two assists short of his 14th triple-double of the season.<\/p>\n

The Hawks swept the season series against the Magic 4-0 and now have a 3 1\/2 game lead over Orlando in the Southeast Division with five games remaining \u2014 six for Orlando.<\/p>\n

Jamal Cain<\/a> led the Magic with 17 points off the bench. Desmond Bane<\/a> and Wendell Carter Jr.<\/a> added 14 points each.<\/p>\n

Magic forward Franz Wagner scored 12 points in 20 minutes in his first game since Feb. 11. Wagner, who averaged 23.4 points on 55% shooting in the Magic\u2019s first 23 games, has missed 47 of the last 52 games with a high ankle sprain.<\/p>\n

The Hawks blew the game open with a 47-point second quarter in which they made 17 of 24 shots. Jonathan Kuminga’s<\/a> 3-pointer broke a 32-32 tie early in the quarter and Atlanta led the rest of the game, stretching the margin to 31 early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Alexander-Walker scored 17 points in the period, and he was one of six players to score during a four-minute stretch in which Orlando went scoreless.<\/p>\n

With 7:30 remaining in the game and the Hawks up 110-89, Magic center Goga Bitadze<\/a> drew a flagrant foul 2 (and automatic ejection) for pulling Hawks center Jock Landale<\/a> down by the shoulder. Daniels was given a technical foul for confronting Bitadze after the takedown.<\/p>\n
