LeBron James sat out the fourth quarter as the Lakers failed to close the gap and force overtime.
James scored 22 points, Brandon Ingram scored 17 and Lance Stephenson scored 19 as the Magic managed to stifle the Lakers’ offence.
And tonight they go head-to-head again, this time at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The Lakers have gone on a three-game win streak since the Magic loss, and have won seven out of their last eight games.
Lonzo Ball has shown his form since scoring no points in the Magic game, and James explained that the youngster needs to be more confident.
“I think he just sometimes doesn’t realize how great he is,” James said.
“The things that he possesses out on the floor … when Zo realizes how good he is on the floor, it makes him a very dynamic player and it makes us even better.
“And he’s been doing that as of late, his aggressiveness.
“Even when he’s not making [shots], just his attack as you’ve seen earlier in the game, just him getting to the rim [is key].
“He missed a couple of them, that’s absolutely fine. He had a couple charges, that’s absolutely fine.”
