The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the youthful Orlando Magic 103-106 in a thrilling comeback victory. After a potential loss, supporters were prepared to lose it on social media, but they were instead relieved that the squad managed to win.

Some supporters weren’t as thrilled, arguing that the Lakers shouldn’t be playing a young team like the Orlando Magic in a dogfight because they are a competitive team.Anthony Davis, who had another incredible night on the boards, led the Lakers. Along with his 26 points, he pulled down 19 rebounds, proving to all his skeptics that he was more than capable of leading the Lakers. D’Angelo Russell’s 28 points and eight assists sealed the victory. After a difficult first three quarters, LeBron James found his game late in the game, finishing with 19 points, three rebounds, four assists, three steals, and a game-winning block.

Despite their poor offensive performance, the Magic were able to stave off the Lakers thanks to their quickness and relentless defense. With 17 points off the bench, Gary Harris led them in scoring; Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner followed with 16 and 15 points apiece. Paolo Banchero found it difficult to control the paint against AD. His poor performance this season added to his early-season struggles, as he only managed nine points.

The Lakers’ season did not get off to a disastrous start.
A loss tonight would have driven the Lakers’ supporters into a state of fear. Fortunately, the club’s discipline in the fourth quarter paid off against a young Magic team that was unable to maintain their impressive play from earlier in the game. The Lakers, on the other hand, are not content with winning by such a narrow margin against a team that a contender should be expected to crush.

Large portions of today’s game were played by the defense, but this team’s offensive problems were also a major discussion point. LeBron James has been excellent this year so far, but he has shown up in the fourth quarter after playing uncharacteristically poorly for the first three. Although his presence generally helps the Lakers have greater possession, he is settling for more jump shots than before, which has led to somewhat lackluster scoring.

The Magic were unbeaten going into the game and really gave the Lakers a run for their money, suggesting they might be better than most thought. No matter how hard-fought the victory was, especially on the second night of a back-to-back, the Lakers will be pleased with the outcome.
