“We didn’t play well enough to win,” said Lakers coach Frank Vogel. “They made us pay.”

The Magic won despite missing their leading scorer guard Evan Fournier, who has been averaging 19.2 points per game. He missed the contest due to a right quad injury.

“I am not disappointed,” said James. “We didn’t start the game off the right way. We just got to be better.”

Elsewhere, the Miami Heat got a huge performance from rookie Kendrick Nunn, and Philadelphia made the right plays down the stretch as the two Eastern Conference juggernauts continued their dominant play at home.
