After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Magic 96-88. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
