After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Magic squeaked past the Lakers 124-121. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
