After Action Report

The Lakers pulled away from the Magic 122-111. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
