Game 3 Magic Win- what does it mean for the Series??

A very nice performance by the Orlando Magic in game 3 has this series at 2-1. Now as a sports handicapper we need to analyze what does it mean for the upcoming games?? Can the Orlando Magic shoot over 60% for three more games?

Oddsmakers have reduced the line for game 4 to Orlando -2.5, that is a 1.5 point drop from game 3. The best sports handicappers predict gameplan changes before the game even happens. Lets take a swing at predicting game 4 changes and predict the outcome of this series!

ORLANDO: Stan VanGundy has done a great coaching job all season and game 3 was nearly a perfect game for the Magic. Although the Magic won game 3 they had to shoot an NBA finals record 67% from the field. Coach VanGundy will have to continue to make improvements because the Magic will not shoot this percentage again and the Lakers still were within two points with 45 seconds left. The Magic in game 4 will go into Howard even more and hope that he can get both Bynum and Gasol in foul trouble. Defensively the Magic will double Kobe off every ball screen and hope to make someone else beat them.

LAKERS: Coach Phil Jackson has to be smiling from ear to ear. The perfect game by Orlando and your team only loses by four!! The Lakers have the perfect gameplan for guarding Orlando but no one could have imagined that the Magic would shoot over 67%. LA will not change the defense scheme and will dare the Magic to repeat the game 3 performance. Offensively the Lakers will stay with the triangle offense but at key times will go to the pick and roll with Kobe and Gasol.

Oddsmakers reduced the line by 1.5 since game three recognizing that the Magic played perfect and the Lakers still almost beat them. Coach Phil Jackson is a genius and he will not over react to game 3 outcome.

Would be very surprised if the Lakers don't come out and sweep both game 4 and 5. The Magic had a great game 3 but no way they can repeat the performance! Start planning for the parade LA!!
