Richie Audubato called this game correctly. It was just one of those few games each year where everything goes right for one team... and everything goes wrong for the other.
The Bulls were coming off a heartbreaking loss to Miami (heartbreaking is not quite the word for it) and were hurt even before that. Plus they had taken it to the Magic last week. Orlando did not forget.
The Magic were coming off a disappointing performance in Detroit and again had that revenge factor in mind. This game had blowout written all over it.
I am glad Orlando penned that book. It shows a lot of maturity as a team to come back after the way Chicago took it to them in Illinois last week and after a poor performance against the Pistons on Monday and put on a clinic. By the time I tuned in, it was already over.
Not much else to say about this game. A very balanced effort from Orlando.
AND NO ONE CAN STOP THE POLISH HAMMER!
Marcin Gortat scored 13 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. And Tony "Batt-Man" Battie had 18 points, including a 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter, and eight rebounds.
Continuing the love for the bench players, Jeremy Richardson got in and scored six points. And for some reason Audubato and Dennis Neuman thought this guy might become part of the rotation in the near future (near future meaning next season... not tomorrow). Interesting...
