Magic coach Jamahl Mosley on Anthony Black getting back into the lineup: “I think [he’s] just trying to find his rhythm. You know, I think playing the stints that he played is never easy to do in these moments, but just trying to find a rhythm. You know, first it was defensively turned up, you know, gave us a couple steals, got out in transition, being able to get to the basket, you know, a little bit just knocking the rust off.”

Magic player Desmond Bane on winning streak: "It's hard to think too much about anything else other than going to win the next game, to be honest. You start looking at others and counting on others to do such and such, you put yourself in a bad spot. For us, the main focus is just coming out and improving and then when we step on the court playing with that urgency — playing with the end-of-the-year urgency, knowing what's on the way and knowing what's in front of us that we have to go out and go get these games. It's a lot to ask from everybody. It's been a long year but it's what has to be done. That's the standard at this point."
