The Orlando Magic defended their home court in the first of three games at home. They beat the Lakers 108-104, but Yoda and the Magic have reason to be concerned. The series now stands at 2-1 in favor of Los Angeles and one reason for Orlando to worry is the following.
The Magic shot lights out, ending the game with an incredible 62.5 percentage from the field and still L.A. was right there with them throughout the entire contest. In fact, the outcome was in doubt until about the final minute or so when Mickael Pietrus sank two free throws to essentially put the game out of reach. It will be hard for the Magic to consistently shoot such a high percentage going forward, so they will need to defend better or the series will be over fairly quickly. L.A. is just that good.
