On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers replayed the exact same listless “Lake Show Broadway” play from last week in Orlando against the Magic.
You know the script. The Lakers come out and slap the Magic around early, only to give way in the second and third quarters on the defensive end and let the same Magic players, being Nikola Vucevic and D.J. Augustin, lead the way in dismantling the back line. Los Angeles then makes a comeback in the 4th quarter and loses.
In the last game, LeBron James sat the whole 4th quarter with Lonzo Ball while the bench made a push.
