After Action Report
In Orlando, the Lakers snuck past the Magic 103-102. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
