The Orlando Magic trailed early against the Los Angeles Lakers falling behind by 12 points. This was due in part to the starting lineup.
Kyle Kuzma was feasting inside against a smaller Wesley Iwundu as the Lakers used their size as an advantage over the Magic. Orlando looked a bit shell-shocked as they tried to keep up. It felt like another run of Friday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets when the team was staggered and never recovered.
But head coach Steve Clifford quickly made the necessary changes to get the team back on track.
