This 2004-2005 #Magic team was a prototype for the modern NBA, and they never get credit for it. They screwed it up by trading away Cuttino Mobley.
December 12, 2004: Orlando's Steve Francis drives and dunks in Los Angeles.
Francis finished with game-highs of 27 PTS/13 AST. The Lakers' Chris Mihm had 25 PTS (11-18 FG)/14 REB, Jumaine Jones scored 25 PTS and Kobe Bryant added 23 PTS in the Lakers' 105-98 win over the Magic.
