After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers blew the doors off the Magic 121-82. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
