After Action Report

The Lakers snuck past the Magic 119-114. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
