After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Lakers 99-94. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
