Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic scrimmage: How to watch
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Lakers take on the Orlando Magic in their second scrimmage of the NBA’s resumption.
For the first time in over four months, we finally got to see the Los Angeles Lakers in action in an actual basketball game on Thursday. The Lakers had their first scrimmage in the Orlando bubble against the Dallas Mavericks, falling short 108-104.
The games do not mean anything and are used as a means to get the guys back in shape and up to par for game speed before the eight seeding games begin. Even in a Lakers’ loss, it was a wonderful feeling to see LeBron James, Anthony Davis and all of the Lakers back in our living rooms.
