Nelson Over Bibby Big Factor in Rout

Filed under: Hawks, Magic, NBA Playoffs

ORLANDO, Fla. -- There was no better example of what a mismatch Game 1 was -- and probably the whole Orlando/Atlanta series will be -- than the difference between the starting point guards.



By late in the third quarter, both were on their respective sideline, but all similarities started and ended right there.



It's why this best-of-seven, second-round matchup isn't going to take very long.



Atlanta's Mike Bibby had buried his head under a towel, peeking out only once in awhile to view the wreckage. On the other side, Orlando's Jameer Nelson was waving his towel wildly, up on his feet every few seconds.



"I just wanted to attack, and keep attacking,'' Nelson said after the Magic buried the Hawks, 114-71, in a game that was even more lopsided than the score. "We're in this for the long haul, so you have to keep attacking.''
