Magic's Wagner Ends Lakers' Home Winning Streak

Franz Wagner led the Orlando Magic to a thrilling 119-118 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers with a game-winning 3-pointer with just 2.5 seconds remaining. Wagner, who scored 37 points and provided 11 assists, capitalized on missed free throws by the Lakers' Anthony Davis, who missed two crucial shots with 19 seconds left. Despite the Lakers' strong performances from Davis, who scored 39 points, and LeBron James, with 31 points, the Magic ended the Lakers' six-game winning streak and handed them their first home loss of the season. Jalen Suggs and Moritz Wagner also contributed significantly to the Magic's win, which was their seventh in eight games. The Lakers struggled with free throws throughout, missing key opportunities in the final minutes that ultimately cost them the game. The victory highlights Wagner's ability to shine even without the presence of fellow star Paolo Banchero, who is sidelined with an injury.
