Al Horford: 'Orlando Magic made tough shots to win'

Al Horford has admitted that Orlando Magic's ability to make the "tough shots" was crucial as the Atlanta Hawks lost 109-92 on Tuesday night.

Horford scored 15 points for the Hawks, who suffered two defeats in a row for the first time this season.

"We had some careless turnovers, and I think that impacted the game in the third quarter," Horford told reporters. "After that, you have to give them credit. They made shots. A lot of them were tough shots, but they made them.

"They made a run, and we really couldn't recover after that."

The Hawks face the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
