Lakers lose to the Orlando Magic 110-109 in a nail-biter. A botched final play between LeBron James and Luka Doncic seals L.A.'s fate. With 6.7 seconds left, Wendell Carter Jr.'s putback puts Orlando ahead. After a timeout, James finds Doncic, who opts against a 3-pointer, saying he felt too far from the basket. Double-teamed, Doncic pivots and passes back to James. With 2.9 seconds remaining, James misses a 27-foot fadeaway. Doncic, who struggled with shooting at 8-for-24, admits he should have attacked the basket instead of picking up his dribble. L.A. blew a 12-point second-half lead, marking their first loss of the season when leading after three quarters. The defeat drops the Lakers to 4-4 on their homestand. Next up: road games against the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors.
