After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers handled the Magic 129-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
