Shaq obliterates, with an efficient 46 points and 20 boards, 14 of them offensive. The Hornets lead for most of the game due to the disparity in three pointers, mostly made by Curry and Hawkins. Mourning, Grant and Johnson contribute significantly for both teams as well on the inside. Penny and Anderson struggle for the majority, considering the match-up advantages, until the late stages and OT. Lots of blocks and thunderous Shaq slams in this one, the Magic take it.
