After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Magic 130-109. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
