As a Magic fan who held season tickets back then, I remember that season well.
In Game 1 it appeared as if Penny, Shaq, Dennis Scott, Horace Grant, and co. were going to put it on Houston, but the Rockets rallied in the 4th and the combination of Kenny Smith hitting that dang 3pointer and Nick Anderson missing 4 consecutive free throws as Houston got the victory, it seems the momentum swung from A to Z and that young Magic team just never recovered...
