After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Magic 101-100. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
