Nikola Vucevic helps Magic beat Lakers again
The Magic had swept the season series against the Los Angeles Lakers once in Orlando’s first 29 seasons in the NBA.
In a span of eight days, the Magic did it for the second time.
Nikola Vucevic had 31 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists and Terrence Ross made a go-ahead lay-up with 34 seconds left to help the visiting Magic beat the Lakers 108-104 on Sunday.
Ross scored 16 points for the Magic, who as the home team won 130-117 against the Lakers on Nov. 17.
“We’re trying to build something, and wins like these can really help you build some momentum,” Vucevic said.
Ross got to the rim to break the 104-104 deadlock after LeBron James missed a step-back three-pointer.
