Tipping off on the hardwood  . . .

The Magic will be looking to bounce back from an embarrassing Game 1 defeat on Sunday night when they take the court in Los Angeles for the second game of the NBA Finals. Orlando was pounded 100-75 in the opener by the Lakers on Thursday night, with Dwight Howard scoring just 12 points and Jameer Nelson contributing six points off the bench in his return from injury. Kobe Bryant led the Los Angeles attack with 40 points in that easy victory, and Pau Gasol chipped in with 16 points. Oddsmakers have listed the Lakers as 6.5-point faves for Sunday.
