The Los Angeles Lakers unexpectedly found themselves in a difficult game on Wednesday night against a frisky Orlando Magic squad. The Lakers trailed by as many as 21 in the game and needed some hot shooting performances from unheralded reserves Troy Daniels and Quinn Cook to get back in the game and even take a lead. But LeBron James had a tough game on Wednesday, with one of his worst shooting performances of the season.
Perhaps no moment depicted how difficult it was for the Lakers to score on Wednesday night and how hard it was for James in particular than a baseline drive that LeBron biffed in the fourth quarter by coming up short.
Only a few moments later, the rim got another casualty when Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also had a dunk attempt clank off the rim.
The Lakers were locked in a difficult game against the Magic, with Wednesday being the rare night that both LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma were unable to score.
