Wagner’s offensive contributions are critical, especially for a Magic team that ranked 22nd in offensive efficiency last season and has dropped to 25th this season. It was ironic that the Magic beat the Lakers with 3-point shooting given that the Magic are the least accurate 3-point shooting team in the league this season at 30.9 percent.

Paolo Banchero is the clear-cut star on the Orlando Magic's roster. The former Rookie of the Year has shown consistent growth since entering the NBA and could emerge as a top-20 player sooner rather than later. However, the Magic are currently navigating life without their young star as he continues to recover from a torn oblique.

Franz Wagner hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds to play, and the Orlando Magic roared back to snap the Los Angeles Lakers’ six-game winning streak with a 119-118 victory.
