The Hawks should have been up by twenty at the half with Howard fouled out.
Just my opinion.
howard ended up getting 3 fouls that half anyway, so all the marginal calls did was keep him in a few minutes longer. because howard literally could not get more than 3 fouls in the first half, as soon as he picks up foul #3 the coach pulls him for the rest of the half without exception. so i don't know what you mean by "fouled out"...
sometimes the foul calls go in your favor and sometimes they don't. it's nice to just pick a few plays that didn't go your way and say "well this, this, and this should have happened this way, so we would have gotten 12 more points!" but it works both ways, dude. the magic were ice cold shooting in the 2nd quarter, but that doesn't mean they "should have" been tied just because they missed shots they usually make. shit happens
the funny thing is that even if your little fantasy had happened, the magic still outscored ATL in the 2nd half by 22
