Satoransky spoke postgame with the media postgame about his performance and what he was looking to bring his team.
“I don’t know. I just let the game come to me a little bit,” said Satoransky, who attempted only two shots. “Trying to be aggressive, but every time I drive or was aggressive to the basket, it opens up the space for my teammates.”
Washington Wizards Head Coach Wes Unseld had strong praise for Satoransky’s play against the Magic. He spoke on it during postgame.
“He’s about winning,” Unseld said. “If he needs to make a bucket, he’ll try, but he’s trying to facilitate and keep us organized. His ability and size defensively, he’s had great moments, and obviously a big part of the defense is rebounding.”
Kristaps Porzingis scored 35 points on 11-for-18 shooting from the field. Porzingis also knocked down 3-for-6 from the three-point line. He also grabbed eight rebounds and dished out three assists.
