Last night the game between the Lakers and the Cavs ended with the very clear score of 112 to 57 in favor of the Californian team. The partial quarters scores were just as clear: 27 to 12, 30 to 13, 35 to 16 with only a fourth quarter of total garbage time that had a purely statistical interest which ended with a 20 to 16 score.

The Orlando Magic almost rebuilt their team with two important trades completed almost at the same time. The first trade was made with the Phoenix Suns: the Magic sent them guard Vince Carter, center Marcin Gortat, forward Mickael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick, and cash in exchange for guard Jason Richardson, forward Hedo Turkoglu, and guard Earl Clark. The second trade was made with the Washington Wizards: the Magic sent them forward Rashard Lewis in exchange for guard Gilbert Arenas.
