LOS ANGELES – If they’re going to lose, these guys will always go down swinging.
The Lakers’ 9-game winning streak came to an end Wednesday night against the Magic, but not before erasing a 21-point deficit and holding a lead heading into the final three minutes of regulation.
That comeback, starting midway through the third quarter, showed the essence of a team always has one more run in itself.
In this case, it was a furious 22-2 sequence led by LeBron James at the controls and a trio of the most dangerous bench shooters in the league.
