Even though the Magic won this game, I am not going to praise them at all. Because if the only way you can beat the Lakers is shoot 62 percent and let the Lakers shoot 51 percent that doesn't bode well. As proved by the Celtics last year, you need to be player tougher defense than offense. It just sucks, because if Courtney lee happened to get that tip in at the end of the game the Magic could be up 2-1, instead they are down 1-2. The Magic got a great game out of Rafar Alston who dropped 20 and it seems like he is the key to the Magics success because it opens up Dwight Howard underneath the basket, and gives Dwight to dish it to one of his million swing men. Mickael Pietrus was huge off the bench for not only guarding Kobe Bryant but scoring 18 needed points.
Again, I don't that Orlando is going to win this series, but this win at least gives me some false hope.
