After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Clippers upended the Magic 130-116. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
