| The Orlando Magic Attempt To Solve Atlanta Hawks defense |
But it's hard to argue that tactic now that the Hawks own a 1-0 lead over the Orlando Magic in their first-round playoff series with Game 2 on tap Tuesday night in Orlando. That 3-1 edge over their Southeast Division rivals during the regular season was summarily dismissed by the Magic before the Hawks' blowout win in Game 1 Saturday night. It won't be so easy to explain away now, though. Not after the Hawks steamrolled the Magic on their home floor. The Hawks showed little regard for the wicked effort Dwight Howard delivered; he bludgeoned the Hawks for 46 points and 19 rebounds. But the Hawks had a heck of a game plan. They let Howard do what he wanted, refusing to double team him, and clamped down on everyone else. It worked in Game 1. Whether or not it works in Game 2 or not remains to be seen. But if nothing else, there's a blueprint. And the Hawks know it inside and out. Home-court advantage is the Hawks' to hold on to now. They crashed the Magic's playoff party in Game 1 of their first-round series, snagging the momentum in this 4-5 matchup with a stunning effort after losing six straight games to finish the regular season. The team that couldn't shoot straight to end the regular season was nowhere to be found Saturday night. The Hawks had their way with the Magic and all five starters shot better than 50 percent from the floor. With a one game lead and the home court advantage in hand, the pressure will be on the Orlando Magic to deliver.

The Atlanta Hawks won the first game of the series, mostly to a great defensive scheme. That scheme allowed Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard to have a great day, but nullified the rest of the team.
