LAST GAME:
Here's what Roundtable writer Don Strouble wrote about the Magic's 119-92 victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves: "The Orlando Magic defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in blowout fashion on Saturday, 119-92, to take the first game of their back-to-back on the road. Below are my takeaways: Despite not having a good day from the perimeter, Bane was still able to hang 30 points on the fourth-best team in the Western Conference. Bane went 0-5 from the perimeter but still shot 58.8% from the field (10-17). He also hit all 10 of his free throws while adding four assists and a steal."

Magic coach Jamahl Mosley on the defense in Saturday's win against the Minnesota Timberwolves: "Our guards did a great job applying pressure. Ant got going early but our ability to sustain that effort no matter what was happening. Our guys locked into the game plan. Randy Gregory did an unbelievable job in this scout letting these guys know exactly what they needed to have done. The personnel was locked in. It was just a very big game plan win for our guys and they played with a level of confidence knowing being back home where Jalen's from and being able to come in here and get the win."
Mosley on Desmond Bane's leadership: "The leadership and the level of poise. There was a couple times on the court where we may have fouled, turned it over a couple times and he just telling everybody it's okay. Calm down, calm down. Let's regroup. Let's settle ourselves down. In the huddles, he's communicating at a high level, talking about the things that he sees and what we can go to. Those are all great pieces and that's what he provides for this group because he's been in big games before and he finds a way to always step up."
