The Los Angeles Lakers have won nine of their last 11 games, including three in a row, and they’ll hope to continue their hot streak against one of two teams that’s beaten them in the last three weeks, the Orlando Magic.
The Lakers are coming off of one of their ugliest wins of the season, a 90-83 sloppy fest against a gritty Utah Jazz team. L.A. relied on their defense Friday night, and will look to slow a Magic team that dropped 130 on them a week ago.
While Orlando hit a bit of a hot streak after a slow start to the season, they are just 3-4 away from home.
