After Action Report
In Orlando, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Magic 120-93. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
