The Orlando Magic got yet another win on Sunday night, its seventh in a row, and the team has had key performances from the bench in the majority of those wins.

The great play from the Magic's bench was evident in the team's last win against the Charlotte Hornets, as 52 of the team's points came from the bench. The key off the bench in this particular game was Cole Anthony, as he provided the spark that the team needed to take control of the game.

Anthony finished the game with 30 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds, as he did a little bit of everything for the Magic in the game. He also did all of this efficiently, shooting 9-16 from the field. Anthony is one of the leaders on the Magic, and coach Jamahl Mosley spoke more about what Anthony means to the team in his postgame interview.

"He's got that level of resilience," Mosley said. "The great part about Cole is that when he doesn't do something that he thinks is right, he's harder on himself. I think that's the great part about this group is that they are going to demand more out of themselves than you can ask. They're holding each other accountable, they're doing the right thing, and they're continuing to push for each other."
