The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Orlando Magic 110-109 on Tuesday night after Luka Doncic failed to fire on a play drawn up for him in the final seconds. Number 77 was open for a deep 3-pointer off the catch, but never took the attempt. He was asked about it plenty in his postgame presser, and the superstar struggled to explain why he didn’t fire.

It was a disastrous night for the NBA’s leading scorer. He finished with 22 points, 15 assists, and nine rebounds, but it took 24 field goal attempts to get there. Luka went two of ten from 3-point range and missed five of his nine free throws.
