JJ Redick Calls the Lakers a ‘Work in Progress’
- On Tuesday, Luka Dončić passed to LeBron James on the final possession, but James missed and the Los Angeles Lakers lost 110-109 to the Orlando Magic, ending a 4-4 homestand.

- They fly to Phoenix Wednesday to face the Suns on Thursday and then travel to Golden State on Saturday, with seeding implications at stake.
