Both Lakers and Magic had chances to win the game at Staples Center in regulation, Kobe squandering an opportunity when his short jumper with 0.6 seconds remaining was blocked by Hedo Turkoglu. Orlando could have won in regular time had Courtney Lee's layup at the buzzer not missed.
The best of seven series now moves to Orlando's Amway Arena for the next three games, if necessary. Game 3 is on Tuesday, June 9.
