The Los Angeles Lakers were back in action Friday night to take on the Orlando Magic. After playing 28 minutes in Wednesday’s loss, Kobe Bryant was ruled out against the Magic just before tip-off as the Lakers continued to be shorthanded. Coming into the game, the Lakers held a record of 11-25. Check out the highlights below:

Tarik Black throws down a two-handed dunk. So Vucevic pushes him to the ground and no whistles are called

Boozer (12 points, 13 rebounds) notches the double-double, then hits another jumper for good measure. Lakers lead, 95-78, with 4:07 left.

Five of Black's eight rebounds have been on the offensive end … and he just swatted O'Quinn at the other end.
