It was a script made for Hollywood.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis had their best final act, scoring the final 23 points of the Los Angeles Lakers’ fourth quarter. But when the Hall of Famers missed four of their last six free throws, they left the door open for another star.

Enter Franz Wagner, whose step-back three-pointer with 2.5 seconds left hit nothing but nylon to give the Orlando Magic their best win of the season, 119-118.

The win capped a 2-1 road trip for the Magic, who improved to 10-7. The Lakers suffered their first loss at Crypto.com Arena.

Wagner scored 15 points in the final quarter to finish with 37 points to go on the season, with six rebounds, 11 assists and four steals.

Jalen Suggs added 22 points, making five threes. Moe Wagner added a season-high 19 off the bench.

The Magic return home on Saturday night for a one-off home game against the Detroit Pistons. Tipoff is 7:00 PM ET.
