Anthony Black on the recent victory against the Denver Nuggets: "Yeah, I think we just did a much better job of controlling what we could control. Like you said, keeping our composure. It was really calm in the timeouts when the game was going back and forth. So it's just a good job by the coaches having us ready and the players did a good job just staying poised and just winning a tough game down the stretch versus a good team."
Orlando Magic coach Jahmal Mosley: "I just told them in the locker room, proud of how they responded after last night. Knowing we could play better basketball and we did. I was more proud of how they kept their composure the entire time. Communicated at a high level of what we were trying to do and what we're trying to accomplish throughout that game. Our fans were great. Our guys were composed. They did it the right way. They trusted each other and got the stops when we needed them."
