Deandre Ayton problem gets worse for Lakers during monster night

The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Orlando Magic 110-109 on Tuesday night in a seemingly massive night from Deandre Ayton. The big man finished with 21 points and 14 rebounds, but he was hunted down the stretch by the Magic. Head coach JJ Redick finally trusted Ayton to close the game, but it gave Paolo Bachero someone to feast on. The Magic scored 31 in the fourth and stole this one in the clutch.

It was the first time all season the Lakers lost when Ayton went for at least 15 points and ten rebounds in a game.
