Who said that one man can't be a team?
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers for a game 1 blow-out 100-75 with 40 points 8 rebounds and 8 assists in 40 minutes. 18 coming from the third quarter, where they created a separation against the magic.
Lakers key tonight was defense. They contain the Orlando Magic shooting only 30% in field goals and limiting Dwight Howard to only 12 points, 1-6 field goals, 10-14 free throws.
"We did a good job on him, but he'll be ready to go Game 2,'' Bryant said. "We worked very hard on the perimeter, keeping those guys out of rhythm, then we did a good job on him inside - giving him different looks.''
No one expected Lakers to have the advantage on the points in the paint where they have 56 points against 22 only by Orlando.
Magic 3's, which helped them to surpass MVP Lebron James and the Cavaliers, are only 8-23 which means..... Off the mark.
Game 2 will be on Sunday (Monday on Philippines) in Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Prediction for game 2, Lakers will win in a close one. maybe below 10 points.
