Last Thursday, Orlando had just enough and edged Utah out 115-113. Having forecasted a close victory for the Magic, the oddsmakers were right on the money.

Among those leading the charge was Paolo Banchero, who earned 30 points along with 9 rebounds and 3 steals.

Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but the Lakers ultimately got the result they hoped for on Wednesday. They secured a 130-125 W over the Clippers. The win made it back-to-back wins for the Lakers.

The Lakers' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from LeBron James, who dropped a double-double on 35 points and 12 rebounds. Anthony Davis was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 27 points and 10 rebounds.
