After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Magic 126-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
