After Action Report
In Orlando, the Lakers buried the Magic 121-100. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
