There’s something about the Orlando Magic that has befuddled the Lakers this season. Just as they did in a 106-103 loss on December 20, the Lakers let a very-winnable game get away from them.

This time it was Jameer Nelson breaking their hearts. The diminutive point guard scored 10 of his team’s last 12 points as the Magic outscored the Lakers 9-0 in the final 52 seconds of the game.

Kobe Bryant had his first triple double of the year with 28 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, but went stone cold at the end of the game, missing his final six shots.

Dwight Howard had 25 points and 20 rebounds for Orlando, which improves to 32-8 on the season. Nelson had 28 points, eight assists and six rebounds.
