Hawks vs Magic
In the second game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Orlando Magic the number one question was: would the Hawks rebound from the shellacking of Game 1 or would this series be over for Atlanta before it even began? For anyone that watched the game, which was played at Amway Arena in front of 17,641 spectators, it could be said that both things happened. Or maybe it can be said the tale of two halves, or, heck, many things could have been said about this game. But the only thing that will remain is that Game 3, which will be played in Philips Arena will have the Hawks at home and down 2-0 to the Magic. For the Hawks it was Marvin Williams, who played 41 minutes and come very close to having a double double. The small forward and ex national champ from `05 scored nine points (2 for 8 ~ 0 for 0 ~ 5 for 6) to go with 11 rebounds (4 offensive) and a -22 pts differential. While for the Magic it was veteran shooting guard Vince Carter, who played 44 minutes as a starter. In that time the guard scored 24 points (9 for 16 ~ 2 for 5 ~ 4 for 4) to go along with seven rebounds (1 offensive), two assists, a steal, a block, a TO and a pts differential of +13. The 24 points was a good performance for Carter, but even better when you think he didn’t score any until there were less than 3 minutes to go in the first half and 20 of the points came in the second 24 minutes.
In the end this was a really weird game, with the Hawks keeping up with the Magic in the first quarter, as it ended 32 to 27 for Orlando. Atlanta would come back in the 2nd quarter, taking it 30 to 17, and going into the locker room ahead 57 to 49 and with the Magic’s Dwight Howard in foul trouble. However thanks to Carter’s performance the Magic took the third quarter by 9, 35 to 26 and the last quarter by 13, 28 to 15. In the end it was a double digit win for the home squad, and while it was not the beat down of the first game, it was still a 112 to 98 win for them. I have to say that unless the Hawks’ coaching staff can find a way to fix the problems quickly this series might be over before the two teams have to head back to Orlando.
