At the Staples Center, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Orlando Magic, winning 96 to 93 in a very close and controversial match until the final shot. Without Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the talents of Kyle Kusma and Dennis Schroeder showcased their potential in the California franchise. As a result, the Lakers closed Sunday in fourth place at the Western Conference. Magic is still in a bad phase, with East ranked 14th.
