After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Lakers 118-97. Magic torched the Lakers on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
