"Jameer Nelson had barely wiped off the sweat from the Orlando Magic's 43-point thumping of the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night when club President Bob Vander Weide came by his locker to talk about the blowout. Not that playoff blowout. Vander Weide wanted to remind Nelson of one that occurred 15 years ago involving the Magic. "Yeah, Bob told me about it right after the game," Nelson said, nodding. In 1995, the Magic crushed the Boston Celtics by 47 points in Game 1 of their first-round series, appearing unbeatable in a 124-77 laugher. Unbeatable? The Magic lost Game 2 by seven, 99-92. The laughter died quickly. And both of those games were at Amway Arena, with Vander Weide in attendance. Nelson was only 13 at the time, but he understood Vander Weide's point about the sweet and the sour of playoff results. And about how overconfidence can lead to an underwhelming encore. "It's only one game," Nelson said. "I think we understand that the next game will be totally different." The next game is tonight at the arena, and the pressure is squarely on the team that won by 114-71. The Magic still have to prevent the Hawks from leaving town with a split. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-magic-hawks-game-2-history-20100505,0,6774372.story
