After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Magic 111-108. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
