After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Lakers 96-76. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
