DAngelo Russell scored the winning 3-pointer in the last 1 minute and 43 seconds, plus two free throws in the last 8 seconds, helping the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly beat the Orlando Magic 106-103 at home, and the winning rate returned to 50%. After the game, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham also praised DAngelo Russell, “This is his great moment!”
Although the Lakers were playing at home, they were locked in a tug-of-war with the visiting team Magic, and there was still a good chance of losing. However, DAngelo Russell stepped up in the 4th quarter and scored 12 points in a single quarter, including the winning 3-pointer in the last 1 minute and 43 seconds. With 5 points including 2 free throws in the last 8 seconds, he scored a team-high 28 points and 8 assists.
Regarding the team’s struggling, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said: “We rely on defense to win games. Young players are under a lot of pressure and need to learn and grow.”
The two big brothers of the Lakers did not only attack, they also helped defend the opponent in the last two minutes. The Magic did not score a point in the last two minutes.
Anthony Davis had 26 points and 19 rebounds, and LeBron James had 19 points.
Magic Franz Wagner had the most points with 16 points, followed by Jalen Suggs with 15 points. He missed a layup and a 3-pointer that could force overtime. He was very sad when he lost and covered his head with his jersey.
