In a more light-hearted post, I had a few friends in Orlando attend Game 1 and they were kind enough to take some pictures for Third Quarter Collapse. So for those who couldn't attend the game for a variety of reasons, you can get an inside-look at what was going on before tipoff at Amway Arena. 

Enjoy the pictures!
