Lakers Lose at Home, Ayton Shines


Author: The Daily News Now! February 26, 2026 Duration: 1:14

Despite a standout performance from Deandre Ayton, the Lakers fell short against the Orlando Magic, losing 110-109 at home. This setback concluded their home stand at a .500 record, following a successful road trip. Ayton acknowledged the disappointing home losses but remains optimistic, with 24 games left to build momentum for the playoffs. The team struggled defensively in the final moments, failing to secure crucial stops or loose balls. Ayton shone early with assistance from teammates like LeBron James and Austin Reaves. The Lakers now face the Phoenix Suns, who are hot on their heels in the Western Conference standings, with Phoenix leading the season series 2-1. A win is crucial for the Lakers.
