Magic Fall to Lakers
Kobe Bryant's precision and Smush Parker's versatility took the steam out of the Orlando Magic.
Bryant scored 19 of his 28 points in the second half and Parker added 17 as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Magic for the 14th time in 16 meetings with a 102-87 triumph.
Grant Hill converted a three-point play to cap a 17-6 run for Orlando, which cut the deficit to 94-85 before Bryant nailed a basket from the arc with 3:15 remaining. Darko Milicic followed with a layup for the Magic before Bryant hit a reverse layup for a 99-87 edge with 2:21 to play.
Hill scored 23 points, Dwight Howard had 15 and Stevenson 14 for Orlando.
