Lakers Lose Again, Fall To Magic

(CBS) -- One night after the Lakers offense struggled in a lopsided loss in Miami, Los Angeles struggled to score again, falling to the Orlando Magic 92-80 on Friday night in Orlando.

"I got to make sure our guys stay as confident as possible and keep shooting the open shots, because they are going to go down." Lakers coach Mike Brown said.

"Right now we're scoring 70,80 points a game, you can't win like that." Andrew Bynum said.

Dwight Howard dominated the Lakers down low, scoring 21 points and grabbing 23 rebounds.

Howard out-rebounded Pau Gasol and Bynum combined, 23-22.

With the loss, the Lakers fall to 10-7 and will host the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
