Lakers fall to 3-7 in their last 10 games after a 118-106 loss to the Orlando Magic.
Despite a strong start post-Luka Doncic trade, the Lakers are now struggling. Luka Doncic admitted the team got “a little bit satisfied” as their defensive intensity has dropped. Inconsistent third-quarter performances, including being outscored 34-18 by Orlando, are contributing to their skid.
