Although the Lakers clearly had the better team on paper, the Magic still dominated them with ease and won the game 120-101. Anthony Davis was the top scorer of the game with 28 points. King James recorded 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists and continued his great start to the season.

In his 21st season in the league, the four-time NBA champion is averaging 24.5 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists. Considering he stays healthy along with Davis, the Lakers might well and truly push for the NBA title.
