1/8 Finals Round 6: Atlanta H. - Orlando M. 84-81
Date: April 28, 2011
Joe Johnson gave the Hawks a more expected offensive spark. His biggest play, though, was getting a hand on a missed shot. Johnson scored 23 points and came up with a huge offensive rebound, leading Atlanta to an 84-81 victory in Game 6 on Thursday night, knocking the Orlando Magic out of the playoffs. The Hawks, who won the series 4-2, advanced to the second round for the third straight year, this time against top-seeded Chicago. Orlando, which routed Atlanta a year ago in the most lopsided four-game sweep in NBA history, heads into an uncertain offseason after its earliest playoff ouster since 2007. With Atlanta clinging to a one-point lead and the clock running down, Marvin Williams missed a clinching 3-pointer. But Johnson swatted the rebound to Jamal Crawford, who was fouled and made both free throws with 8.2 seconds left. "I just wanted to make a play," said Johnson, who bounced back from a dismal 5-point effort in Game 5. "The play was a pick-and-roll for Al (Horford) and Jamal, but we didn't come up with what we wanted. I just crashed the glass and tried to somehow get a hand on it. I did." The Magic had two chances to force overtime. J.J. Redick missed an open 3, then Jason Richardson had a desperation shot from the corner blocked by Josh Smith. Redick came off a screen for a clear view of the basket, a play that couldn't have been drawn up any better. The shot rimmed out, though it went out of bounds off an Atlanta player to provide the Magic with one more shot. After his team called another timeout, Redick walked to the bench with his hands on his head. That would be their last chance to extend the series. Orlando inbounded from the baseline to Richardson, but he didn't have much room to work in the corner. Smith extended a hand to finish off the Magic. Hedo Turkoglu kicked the ball off the scoreboard hanging above the court in frustration as streamers fell from the ceiling, the sellout crowd celebrating the series winner. The Magic was beaten off the glass 38-31, giving up 14 boards at the offensive end. "The biggest thing was the rebounding," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It's sort of fitting we couldn't get a rebound on the last stop." Next up for Atlanta: the Bulls. Game 1 is Monday night in Chicago. *Courtesy of www.sfgate.com
