The Orlando Magic riding on 4th year man Aaron Gordon and one of the best kept-secrets in the "Logo" in Nikola Vucevic (Knee-coal-ah Vooch-uh-vitch). The L.A. Lakers leaning on both LeBron James and Rajon Rondo came into this one thinking Sunday Matinee and home-cooking should be a "W"!

Well after a Lakers 52-51 lead at the break the o-Magic erupted for a huge 3rd as Gordon dropped 13 of his 17 points in the frame and the Magic led after three 86-71 as the Lake Show and Laker Nation at Staples was stunned. Magic "Big" Vucevic (with a game-high 31 pts 15 rebs 7 asst 3 blks) dominated the painted-area for Orlando.

The Lake Show rode that Lakers front line of LeBron James (24 pts 7 asst), Kyle Kuzman (21 pts 4 rebs) and Brandon Ingram (17 pts 6 rebs) as they combined for 24 pts in 4th and brought the Lakers back and tied the game 104-104 with two minutes to go in the 4th. The Magic closed the game closing out the Lakers on "D" as Terrence Ross and Aaron Gordon accounted for the only two buckets in the game after the tie at 104 with the O-Magic winning 108-104.

That Mouse-Town Magic Bench outscored the Lakers Bench some 42-21 led by the former NBA Dunk Champion Ross who starred at Portland, OR Jefferson H.S. with former Rockets 1st rounder Terrence Jones (Kentucky Wildcats). Lakers also committed 18 turnovers to the Magic's 13.

The O-Magic moves to .500 at 10-10 while the Lakers fall to 11-8...
