QUOTABLE
Magic guard Desmond Bane on Game 4: "We talked about it; we had a good practice yesterday and a lot of guys was in there getting work in. I like our attitude, our resilience. I thought it was great. We responded in the right way, and we got to understand what's coming for us in Game 4. They're going to come out swinging just like they did in Game 2, up their physicality. We got to be able to exceed that."
