After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Magic 125-103. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
