The Orlando magic so far:
- 1st in DRTG
- 3rd in REB%
- 6th in OREBs per 100 possessions
- 3rd in steals per 100 possessions
- 4th in opponent points in the paint per 100
- 7th in opponent 3PM and 3PT%
- 2nd in transition points allowed
Looking at these metrics, it’s not surprising the lakers struggled so much with them. I hope they can keep it up. It would be great to see another eastern conference contender emerge

With how huge everyone is, that team has a ton of defensive upside.
I think the shooting/scoring efficiency will be an issue, but it’s not like they are completely devoid of shooting/scoring either.
