Lakers secured a 111-105 win over the Magic

The Lakers' bench carried them for the most of the game, scoring 61 of the team's 111 points and continuously finding ways to get the team back into the game or swing the game in their favour with their inspired performance. Austin Reaves, who led the Lakers with a career-high 35 points, did that more than any other reserve player. He also had six rebounds and six assists in addition to making nine of his 14 field goal attempts and 16 of his 18 efforts at the foul line.

Every Lakers reserve who played minutes was a significant factor in this victory, from Dennis Schröder's defence and his quickness of play to Wenyen Gabriel's all-around hustle and work on both backboards to the offensive boost provided by Rui Hachimura's shot-making on pull-ups and when working out of the post.
