“You put three games in a row — I think we’re headed in the right direction,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. “We’re asking our guys to defend at a high level, which they did. We’re asking them to move the basketball, which they did, and stay poised down the stretch they’ve done.”
Franz Wagner led the way for the Magic. Wagner scored 23 points on 6-for-14 shooting from the field. Wagner knocked down 3-for-5 from behind the three-point line.
