The Orlando Magic have been incredible on defense to start the season (alien.top)

The Orlando magic so far:

1st in DRTG
3rd in REB%
6th in OREBs per 100 possessions
3rd in steals per 100 possessions
4th in opponent points in the paint per 100
7th in opponent 3PM and 3PT%
2nd in transition points allowed

Looking at these metrics, it's not surprising the lakers struggled so much with them. I hope they can keep it up. It would be great to see another eastern conference contender emerge

With how huge everyone is, that team has a ton of defensive upside.

I think the shooting/scoring efficiency will be an issue, but it's not like they are completely devoid of shooting/scoring either.
