The Orlando Magic defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 109 - 90, at Amway Center on Friday. The Magic wanted to get out to a hot start here and that carried them to an important wire - to - wire win. In fact, Orlando won the first quarter, 30 - 14 and recorded a franchise - record nine blocks in that 12 - minute period. Shooting was the difference in the game, with the Lakers hitting just 36 percent of their shots to the Magic's 51 percent from the field. Los Angeles really struggled with their ball movement, as they matched their 16 assists with 16 turnovers, while Orlando recorded 25 assists to 14 turnovers. Los Angeles (11 - 22) has now lost 11 of their last 12 games, as they continue to fall down the standings. Every player on the roster struggled, as no on who took more than five shots could hit over 50 percent from the field. Jordan Clarkson led the team in scoring, as he tallied 18 points, five rebounds and two assists on 7 - of - 14 shooting off the bench. D'Angelo Russell led the starters in scoring, totaling 15 points, two rebounds, three assists and two steals in the defeat. Luol Deng recorded an 11 - point, 11 - rebound double - double. Thomas Robinson was the only player to shoot above 50 percent, as he amassed seven points and 11 rebounds on 3 - of - 5 shooting. The Lakers will look to get out of this slide in a rivalry game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Orlando (14 - 18) have struggled this season, but wire - to - wire wins like this show their true potential. Serge Ibaka continues to emerge, as he led the starters with 19 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks in the victory. Elfrid Payton was their most valuable player though, as he accumulated 25 points, three rebounds and nine assists on 11 - of - 16 shooting off the bench. C.J. Watson, D.J. Augustin and Nikola Vucevic all scored 11 points a piece. Orlando is off until Monday, when they host the Memphis Grizzlies for their next fixture.
