    Ever since they lost in the NBA Finals, the Orlando Magic have been determined to get back—and, this time, win it all.

    Two series down, two to go.

    Vince Carter scored 22 points to lead another dominating performance by the Magic, which finished off its second straight playoff sweep with a 98-84 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.

    Orlando won the four games by an average of 25.3 points—a total blowout that no one could have expected in a matchup between the teams that finished second and third in the Eastern Conference. It was the most lopsided four-game sweep in NBA playoff history, according to STATS LLC.

    “Guys are just focused. It’s unbelievable to see,” Carter said. “This is my opportunity for a championship.”

    The Magic, who lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in last year’s NBA Finals, are playing better than anyone at the most important time of the season. They have won 14 in a row, the last eight in the playoffs, and 28 of 31.

    But can focus lead them past a determined Lebron, Shaq and Co?
