Orlando Magic 'Embracing Challenges', Says Coach Jamahl Mosley
The Orlando Magic's last two wins has been against two of the best teams in the NBA, with Friday's win against the Boston Celtics being a blowout. Now, more and more people are seeing that this Magic team has come to play.
In the team's six-game win streak, it has played a couple of teams that are struggling, but none of that has changed how the team has played. No matter who the Magic is playing, the team always steps up to the challenge, and head coach Jamahl Mosley spoke more about that in his postgame interview.
"It's just continued growth... They're embracing challenges," Mosley said. "Whatever is presented to them, they are willing to take it on. And it is going to continue to be done by committee."
All of the Magic's players are willing to step up and be the guy for the team on any given night, and against the Celtics, that player was center Moritz Wagner. He was the game's leading scorer as he finished with 27 points shooting 9-13 from the field coming off of the bench. Mosley said that not only do the players play their roles, but the fans play a role as well.
"Part of that committee is our fans," Mosley said. "From beginning to end, when that momentum shifts and we hear them yelling, its's so great to have that support for what they are doing."
