He also grabbed 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Wendell Carter Jr. scored 11 points off of the bench for the Magic. He spoke on what this win means for his ball club.
“This league is all about wins. We took a great step forward in the right direction,β Carter said. βIt definitely is a confidence booster going up against one of the best teams in the Western Conference and getting a win on the road.β
The Magic got key contributions off of the bench. Terrence Ross scored 15 points off of the bench. Otto Porter Jr. scored 13 points. Mo Bamba scored 12 points off of the bench.
