Michael and Magic Make This a Series of Great Expectations

Magic against Michael? Michael guards Magic, who gets off but two shots against him (in Game 1). Michael almost doubles Magic’s point production and still dishes out more assists.

Lakers win, though, because their front line decimates Chicago, 60-31.

Magic vs. Michael? Get serious. Michael vs. the Lakers would have been much more tenable.
