After Action Report
The Magic survived the Lakers 97-96. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
