Los Angeles guard Luke Kennard knocked down the decisive basket to push the Lakers past the Orlando Magic on March 21, 2026, giving the team its ninth straight win.
The game-winning shot capped another comeback for Los Angeles and preserved the league’s longest active winning streak. Kennard’s jumper broke a late tie and secured the road triumph, keeping the Lakers perfect since early March.
The victory over Orlando extends a run that has vaulted Los Angeles up the Western Conference standings. Kennard, acquired earlier in the season to boost perimeter scoring, delivered when it mattered most, silencing the home crowd and sealing the result.
With the streak now at nine, the Lakers turn their attention to their next matchup as they look to maintain momentum heading into the season’s final stretch.
