The Lakers, give it away to the Orlando Magic, losing by one in the fourth quarter.

Absolutely absurd stuff from the Lakers tonight.

Had a shot to win it.

Luca had it and did not take the shot.

We've got a lot to talk about from this one.

I'm Trevor Lane.

This is the Lakers Nation..com live post-game show.

Certainly a frustrating loss for the Lakers and one that frankly made no sense and was

incredibly avoidable. Just no reason for them to drop this game. In fact, statistically,

there's some big red flags that the Lakers, frankly, found a way to lose this game.

Just no reason for it whatsoever.

All right, lots of stuff for us to get into.

Number one, why didn't Lucas shoot the ball?

I've saw people in the chat talking about, you know,

how did JJ Redick not draw up a play, a better play with the game on the line there at the end?

There was six point something seconds left. He did. And it worked. It worked great. Luca had a wide open look. Just didn't shoot the ball. And instead threw to LeBron, who took a tough contested fade away. And you knew that wasn't going to go. No reason. I mean, he was in rhythm. I can understand maybe not wanted to pull the trigger on a three when you're only down one. But then, okay, fine, then drive the ball. Luca kind of froze in the moment there. Now maybe he thought LeBron was going to pop three on a cut to the rim or something. But it was a head scratcher, a head scratcher of a final play, but it wasn't even just the final play.

It was the play that led to that.

The Lakers gave up another offensive rebound, which was what hurt them all night. They gave up 13 offensive rebounds. We talked about it when we were doing the play-by-play that you cannot be at such a big field goal, field goal attempt deficit throughout the game. the Lakers finished down 12 field The magic shot

12 more shots the Lakers did

95 to 85 to 80s attempt deficit throughout the game. The Lakers finished down 12 field goal.
