Los Angeles Lakers made it 23-23 this season after an emphatic victory over Orlando Magic on Friday night. The Lakers won 116-105 against the Magic at the Amway Center. LeBron James starred for the Lakers as he scored 29 points in 34 mins. Russell Westbrook scored 18 as the Lakers made a 2nd half comeback to register their 23rd win of the season.

King James made the headlines once again for the Lakers as he recorded 29-7-5 vs. the Magic. He has been carrying the Lakers this season single-handedly, without much support from the other stars. However, it’s good to see Westbrook settling in at the Lakers after a poor start to the season. However, LeBron has been in insane form this season and has presented his case for the MVP conversation this season.

Mention me with MJ and Brady like you’re ‘posed to
I’m standing next to rookies, somehow they looking older
The altitude of matter so cold, it’ll make your nose run
How you expect to get love if you don’t show none? 👑”.

LeBron is extra motivated despite the team’s poor performances this season. The Lakers are currently on .500 after 46 games played and things aren’t looking good for them this season. However, they can still turn it around with some consistency in the coming games.
