ORLANDO — The Orlando Magic will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday in hopes of snapping their three-game losing streak.  

Meanwhile, the Lakers come into Orlando riding an eight-game win streak, with their latest win coming over the Miami Heat thanks to a 60-point effort by Luka Doncic.  

After Saturday morning’s shootaround, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley talked about what it will take to over the hump.  

“You understand that you're playing a very good basketball team coming out tonight, and you've gotta come out with a sense of urgency,” Mosley said. “We always talk about one game at a time and taking care of home. You're not ending a streak until you get one. That's how you got to do it. You got toget the one.” 

To get the one game to break the losing streak, Orlando will have to find a way to slow down Doncic, who is averaging 37.2 points in March. 

“I mean, obviously you see right now what he's done over these games. There's not really a stopping him. There's a hoping to slow him down,” Mosley said. “He's gone 39, 40-plus, 60. He's scoring the ball at a high clip, but he's also sharing it, moving it, getting to the free throw line, playing very goodbasketball.  

“And I think the one thing with him ,you've just got to make him see different coverages because he's seen everything. You've got to mix the bodies that guard him. You've got to try to take him away early. Then you've got to make him work on the other end just as well.” 

Additionally, the Magic signed forward Jamal Cain to a standard NBA contract after he had spent the year playing on a two-way deal. 

“Yeah, what we've seen from him is, one, just pure appreciation for getting to play this game. A young man that has worked his tail offfor years in this league to try to make it to this level,” Mosley said. “He comes in with a sense of joy, a work ethic; a professionalism every single day.  

What we ask our guys to do, night in and night out, again, and we go back to that was the thought of the day, is if you get to do this, you don't have to. You get to. So that was so much joy for him. Our guys celebrated him in the video room, which I think is such a great thing for him and for us as a group.” 

For Cain, it is an achievement that is years in the making. 

“Yeah, super excited for one,” Cain said. “I've been waiting four years for that, you know what I mean? All the hard work and grind is paying off.”
