QUOTABLE 

Magic guard Desmond Bane on the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder: "I thought we had that run—they had that run at the end of the first quarter, early second quarter. Our bench unit weren't able to generate points. They were getting layups after layups. Thought that created a little separation for them and we made it close and had our chances. But when the game got tight, they beat us to the 50/50 balls, offensive rebounds, gave themselves extra possessions. I liked a lot of things that we did on the offensive end, moving the ball, turn it over a little too much. We talked about that coming in, just how aggressive they are with their hands and getting steals. But I thought our mentality was right and we were trying to play the right way."
