Orlando are leading Charlotte in the Eastern Conference First Round 2-1 with a 92-83 victory over Charlotte. "It was a tough one to lose," said losing coach Bob. "I thought we had a great chance going in, and even now I think we'd have a great chance in a rematch. But Hunt made the difference for his team, and we really didn't have an answer today."

Orlando coach Bob was equally admiring of his star. "Charlotte were very well prepared for this game, and our boys weren't really ready for what they faced out there. I like to believe that we'd play a better all-around game when we play them again, but we'll be happy riding Hunt and getting the win today."

Orlando was led by Hunt (9 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, a steal, 6 blocks), Buchanan (20 points, 6 boards, 1 assists), Brigmon (15 points, 9 boards, 1 assists). Charlotte was led by Scroggins (30 points, 1 assists, a block), Murphy (6 points, 19 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Williams (16 points, 1 assists).
