After Action Report
The Magic buried the Lakers 116-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
