The Los Angeles Lakers are flying high after their shocking victory over the Golden State Warriors. The purple and gold pulled off the biggest upset in NBA history based on team winning percentage, and now would like to build on that momentum by getting a win against the Orlando Magic.
The Magic currently find themselves sitting under the cutoff line in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and will be desperate to get a win after dropping their last two. They will be without center Nikola Vucevic due to a groin injury, who hit the game-winner at the buzzer the last time the two clubs faced off back in November.
The Lakers have had their share of injuries, with rookie Anthony Brown out with an injured foot and Lou Williams still recuperating from a strained hamstring. Kobe Bryant will also miss the game with a sore shoulder, which means that he will have just 17 possible games left in his career.
Can the Lakers make it two wins in a row? Check out the highlights below:
