The timer telling Anthony Davis to get his feet out of the purple ice bucket kept ringing, but no one stopped him. Davis, his eyes frozen and fixated on the door, didn’t move, his hands folded in his lap as the disappointment of the night filled the empty space in the locker room.

The Lakers had not suffered a loss in Los Angeles this season, and certainly not a loss like this.

Franz Wagner hit a go-ahead three-pointer with 3.3 seconds left, giving the Orlando Magic a 119–118 win and ending the Lakers’ undefeated start at home.

Davis shot with a two-point lead with 18.9 seconds left, but missed a pair of free throws that likely would have lifted the Lakers to their seventh straight victory. Then he sat in stunned silence in the locker room.

“We lost the game,” Davis said softly. “I missed three free throws down the stretch. Come down, hit a three and take the lead. My free throws are very important, very crucial. I missed them.”

It wasn’t just Davis. The Lakers had their chances with the shot that is the only one easy enough to have the word “free” in front of it. But LeBron James broke up on a late trip to the line. Austin Reaves, one of the Lakers’ best shooters, missed two earlier.

“We missed them. It really is,” Reaves said.

The Lakers missed six free throws in the fourth quarter, turning a hard-fought victory into a devastating defeat.

“I’m literally going to a very dark place,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said of how he’s processing a loss like this. ‘It’s the basement. I turn off the lights and watch the film of the match.”

The team had played well against the Magic for the most part, save for an awkward third quarter when a 10-point lead disappeared as Orlando’s zone defense stalled the Lakers.

But James’ magic in the fourth quarter — he scored 14 of his 31 points in the final period — seemed enough to help them prevail. He found Davis on a full-court assist that gave the Lakers a late three-point lead and put the momentum on their side.

The misses at the foul line kept the magic alive, though, and Wagner, in the midst of a breakout season, hit the biggest shot to silence Crypto.com Arena. He finished with 37 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and four steals.

“I didn’t like the thought process and mentality when Wagner hit the three,” Redick said.

Davis, who led the Lakers with 39 points, badly missed a contested shot at the buzzer.

“Every loss is frustrating,” Davis said. “More frustrating for me because I’m the one who missed the free throws.”

The Lakers host Denver, the team that has eliminated them the past two postseasons, on Saturday night.

“We had our chances. They played well,” James said. “We played well. I mean, obviously, the biggest bucket of the night was obviously Franz. “But we put ourselves in a position to win the game, but we couldn’t get through.”
