LOS ANGELES -- This much we can pretty much promise: Dwight Howard is not going to go dunk-less in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Hard to see that happening two games in a row when that hasn't happened all season.
Two days to regroup, though, isn't as favorable as it sounds for the shell-shocked Orlando Magic. A dunk or three from Dwight is surely coming -- and you can safely presume that the free-flinging Magic will shoot better than 30 percent from the floor next time -- but they have lots to fix before these Finals resume Sunday (8 p.m. ET, ABC).
"We've got a long way to go," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, "to get back into this."
That might sound overly pessimistic after one game, even for an NBA coach as hard to please as Van Gundy, but he's not wrong. Too honest, perhaps. But undeniably accurate after Thursday night's 100-75 thrashing.
