The Los Angeles Lakers ended their seven-game road trip with a thud in a 109-90 loss to the Orlando Magic. The return to Los Angeles will be a somber one as they’ve now lost 12 of their last 13 games, looking like lost puppies after seemingly putting things together in a well-played game in Cleveland.
The Lakers tried to switch up the script in Orlando, spotting the Magic a huge lead to start the game instead of galloping out ahead as they have in their previous two losses. Orlando obliged, opening the first quarter on a 10-0 lead.
