Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis each added 20 points in the win for Orlando, which is beginning to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers (28-6) and the Boston Celtics (29-8) for the best record in the Eastern Conference.
Since a six-game winning streak, the Hawks have now dropped two of their last three.
Josh Smith scored 21 points in the setback to the Magic - his fourth straight 20-point game.
