Recap of Game 2

Quotes, Notes, and Links from Game 2

The Orlando Magic beat the Atlanta Hawks 114-71 in the first game of the series on Tuesday night.

Quotes, Notes, and Links from Game 1

The Orlando Magic won three of four regular season meetings against the Atlanta Hawks.

Orlando dominated the season series, in part, by attempting many more three-pointers and free throws and many fewer long two-point jump shots than Atlanta.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
