Atlanta are ahead of New York in the Eastern Conference First Round 1-0 with a solid 110-95 win over New York. "I don't think we left any doubt over who was the better team today," said Atlanta coach Bob. "We pretty much did whatever we wanted out there, and I don't think they ever figured out what to do about Jackson's play."

It will be a tough task for New York coach Bob to get his team up for their next game. "We really came in believing that we had a shot to win this one, but obviously that didn't happen. They outplayed us from the start, and there weren't too many happy faces in the locker room afterwards."

Atlanta was led by Jackson (18 points, 11 boards, 3 assists), Worrel (15 points, 10 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Buzzo (16 points, 14 boards, 0 assists). New York was led by Crawford (26 points, 9 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Howie (12 points, 3 blocks), Stoute (11 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, a steal).
