After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Magic 109-87. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
