Joe J's 25 points, J-Craw's 23 points key win
Joe Johnson - G/F - Atlanta Hawks
April 16, 2011 - 10:20 PM ET

Joe Johnson scored 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting (0-for-1 from deep, 7-of-8 from the line) with five rebounds, five assists, and one steal over 45 minutes in the Hawks' road win over the Magic in Game 1 on Saturday.

We're pretty sure there weren't too many people who saw this coming, as the Hawks looked about as dysfunctional as any team in the league heading into the playoffs. Iso-Joe plays were crisp and quick, and the offense was perfectly balanced for the first time in a long while. Jamal Crawford added 23 points with five assists and four threes in the win.
