Kennard’s late 3 seals Lakers’ ninth straight win
Luke Kennard drilled a 3 with 0.6 seconds left to give the Lakers a 105-104 victory over the Magic and extend their winning streak to nine games. LA opened strong before cooling off, finishing 44.7% from the floor and 22.6% from three. Luka Dončić sparked the offense with a 33-point first half (eight assists, five rebounds), LeBron James had 12 points, and Austin Reaves added 26 as Kennard came off the bench for 13. Jaxson Hayes contributed 8 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, and LA heads to Detroit next.
