VIDEO: Nikola Vucevic sinks Lakers with game-winning dagger
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
The Los Angeles Lakers' 2015-16 season is a waking nightmare.
Nikola Vucevic added to their misery Wednesday by nailing a turnaround jumper at the buzzer to give the Orlando Magic their fourth win of the year.
The Lakers had a chance to win the game with the score knotted at 99 apiece, but head coach Byron Scott called for shooting guard Lou Williams to run isolation.
Williams proceeded to use up most of the shot clock before tossing up an air ball. Roy Hibbert collected the rebound for a putback, but it was waved off, as the shot clock had expired. Kobe Bryant might have done better, but he was sidelined with a bad back for a second straight game.
The Lakers now sit at 1-7 on the season.
