After a big 28 point start and leading in the first half, the Orlando Magic lost all their magic, the game and the finals to the Los Angeles Lakers, 99-86.
From the second half on, it was a one sided game. Paul Gasol kept the defensive player of the year, Dwight Howard, ineffective. The Magic were just plain flat plagued once again by turnovers and missed shots.
Congratulations to Kobe and the Lakers. Kobe finally gets the monkey off his back and wins without Shaq.
