Later a championship head coach and recently named one of the 15 greatest ever, Doc Rivers infamously never won a playoff series in more than four seasons with the Orlando Magic. The 1999-00 NBA Coach of the Year, Rivers however, did take the Magic to the playoffs three times.
Although he never led Orlando to a series victory, the Magic did win six playoff games during his tenure. The first road victory came on this day 20 years ago against the Charlotte Hornets in overtime, 111-103.
The Magic had blown a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter of Game 1 and were looking for better results in Game 2 at the Charlotte Coliseum on April 23, 2002.
