Summary

The Lakers had this one, and then they didn't. Final score, 110-109 loss to Orlando at home, finishing the homestand at 4-4. This one stung. Despite a scoreless first half from Austin Reaves (who finished with 17 points) and an 8-24 night from Luka Dončić, the Lakers had every opportunity to win on Tuesday. Their execution down the stretch, which had been consistently good all year, was not. And as a result, they lose for the first time after leading through three quarters. The dark clouds that have started forming around the Lakers got a little darker. Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
