Franz Wagner scored a three-pointer with three seconds left to secure a dramatic 119-118 win for the Orlando Magic and end the Los Angeles Lakers’ unbeaten home record.
The 23-year-old German top-scored with 37 points, 11 assists and six rebounds as the Magic took advantage of some wayward Lakers shooting in the fourth quarter.
The home side were on the brink of an eighth successive home victory when they opened up a 118-114 lead with 27 seconds left.
Wagner narrowed the gap to 118-116, before Lakers forward Anthony Davis missed two free throws when he had the chance to put the game beyond reach.
The Magic took full advantage, with Wagner’s 26-foot shot sealing a seventh win in eight games.
It means Orlando improve to 10-7 and stay fourth in the Eastern Conference. The Lakers are also fourth in the West after slipping to 10-5.
