QUOTABLE

Magic star Paolo Banchero on his big game against the Minnesota Timberwolves: “I mean, in that paint, around that rim, you know? I think using my size, my ability, get clean looks around the rim, just working my way inside out,” Banchero said. “I think the jumper gets going when my inside is going. So, trying to get early looks in the paint, easy dunks, layups, finishes, and then that'll open up everything else for me."

Magic guard Jalen Suggs on the last two victories: "We ain't had back-to-back blowouts in I don't know how long. It feels amazing to be able to come in, be efficient, empty the bench, make sure everybody gets some PT. Close ones are nice. They're still wins, but these feel way better. We've got a lot of practice in those close games, which has been nice. But this is another level of growth as well, coming out and being super solid through three quarters, and in the fourth quarter staying efficient, getting the bench involved, keeping the vibes high and go finish the game. I think it's been really good for us these past two."
