🔄 Lakers surclassati dai Magic
Upon returning to the field, the leitmotif of the match does not change: the Los Angelesnians produce with only Reaves, Orlando controls the match without too many worries with Banchero and F. Wagner. Anthony Davis duel with Goga Bitadze and tries to start a timid return attempt (-14), but the illusion only lasts a few possessions.
Banchero is irrepressible for the Lakers defense, Black completes a three-point play, then – while Jaxson Hayes everything gets wrong – Joe Ingles and Anthony make the triples for +25 Magic. Four points of LeBron James and a dunk by F. Wagner close the quarter, with LA down 80-101.
Darwin Ham leaves the starters on the field and insists with the zone defense, but the boys of Jamahl Mosley they immediately return to +25 with the plays of the Wagner brothers. Davis, James and Reaves try to make the deficit less burdensome (-15).
The Lakers wasted a couple of transitions to get back to -10 and inevitably Anthony’s triple arrives which closes the game and starts garbage time. The baskets of Admiral Schofield e Colin Castleton set the final score: 101-120.
