NOTES: Hawks C Miles Plumlee, who started his third consecutive game, had a marijuana possession charge against him in New York dismissed earlier this week. The charge stemmed from an August incident. Plumlee is starting because C Dewayne Dedmon missed his fourth consecutive game with a left tibia stress reaction. ... The Magic still were without G/F Terrence Ross (right knee injury) and rookie F Jonathan Isaac (sprained right ankle), who hasn't played since Nov. 11. ... The Hawks came in with their worst 23-game record since the 2004-05 season. ... The two teams play again Saturday in Atlanta, but not before the Hawks play Thursday in New York, and the Magic are home Friday against the Denver Nuggets.
