Some nights at the office are better than others. Just ask Dominique Wilkins.

The former Atlanta Hawks superstar and basketball Hall of Famer was attacked by a fan following the team's 85-82 win over the Magic on Wednesday night, according to The Associated Press.

Wilkins now serves as a vice president for the Hawks, as well as a TV analyst.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported late Wednesday night that Wilkins was attacked by 36-year-old Rashan S. Michel. The report cites Atlanta police that said Michel attacked Wilkins because the Hall of Famer allegedly owed him money.

Michel was quickly brought into custody, but not quick enough to avoid some punishment from Wilkins himself. NBA.com's Sekou Smith tweeted that sources told him that Wilkins was able to land "three solid blows" on the attacker.

The team said that Wilkins was not injured in the altercation.
