ATLANTA — Orlando Magic<\/a> guard Desmond Bane<\/a> was ejected in the third quarter of a 127-112 loss to the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> for a flagrant foul on Onyeka Okongwu<\/a> and an ensuing technical foul.<\/p>\n Okongwu caught a long pass down court over Bane and was going in for a layup when Bane grabbed Okongwu’s forearm on his way up for a hard foul. The Hawks’ big man fell to the floor hard and as the ball went up in the air, Bane fired the ball down onto Okongwu.<\/p>\n Bane was assessed a flagrant one for the foul and a technical foul for directing the ball at Okongwu with 5:24 left in the third quarter. The ejection happened after officials reviewed the play and an upset Bane disagreed and questioned the ejection.<\/p>\n “Hard foul,” Bane said after the game. “I mean, we talk about that — no easy baskets. Nothing at the rim. Make them see the lights [on the ceiling] and hard foul. I swiped at the ball, and it happened to hit him and they made the call that they made.”<\/p>\n The Magic trailed the Hawks by 14 at the time of the ejection and would trail by 85-65 at the 5:16 mark shortly after Bane’s ejection.<\/p>\n Orlando had a two-game winning streak snapped with the loss and dropped to 3-5. The Magic came into the season with high expectations after trading four unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope<\/a> and Cole Anthony<\/a> to Memphis in the offseason for Bane.<\/p>\n Bane left with nine points in 22 minutes. Orlando had difficulty stopping Atlanta, which beat the Magic for a second time this season. But this win came without All-Star point guard Trae Young<\/a>, who is out at least a month with a right MCL sprain.<\/p>\n “Turnovers, the defensive effort wasn’t there,” Orlando coach Jamahl Mosley said. “We let the offense dictate our defense. That’s on me. I didn’t do a great job of getting these guys prepared for this game tonight. Understanding how they were so handsy and so physical, knowing they were going to try to turn us over, I got to do a better job with this group to let them know that.”<\/p>\n
