QUOTABLE
Magic coach Jamahl Mosley after the latest the Dallas Mavericks victory: “You know, they did a great job of communicating with each other,” Mosley said. “Their talk, their ability to share the basketball. I mean, you talk about 35 assists, moving it, sharing it, trusting the pass, playing with the right style and pace of basketball, and just really their trust in each other. That was great to see.”
Magic center Wendell Carter Jr., on bouncing back: "We stayed consistent on the offensive end. We relied on our process over our results and the results came together. So it was a good offensive game for us. Defensively, we could do a little bit of a better job of locking in on a guy like Coop. Coop did a really good job tonight. He just stayed relentless throughout the whole game. But for the most part, I think we just did a really good job of sticking to our game plan, playing physical, and being that close to 35 assists, moving the basketball, getting six guys in double figures."
