Orlando lead Charlotte in the Eastern Conference First Round 3-1 by schooling Charlotte with a textbook-quality 92-65 beating. The game wasn't even as close as the final score, as Orlando coasted for much of the game on its huge cushion. "We just floundered around like idiots out there," said Charlotte star Fullen. "Even midway through the game we knew it would take a miracle to pull out a win against Orlando."

Coach Bob admitted as much early in the game when he said, "We're getting beaten up like some high-schoolers. Even when it looks like we have a chance to do something, we can't. This just isn't a pretty game, unless you're a Orlando fan."

Orlando was led by Hunt (21 points, 15 boards, 4 assists, 4 blocks), Hayes (15 points, 4 blocks), Free (16 points, 5 boards, 0 assists). Charlotte was led by Fullen (16 points, 0 assists, a steal), Williams (14 points, 1 assists), Scroggins (10 points, 2 assists, 2 steals).
