Orlando Magic Players 'Never Hung Their Head' in Loss vs. Los Angeles Clippers

The Magic did not shoot as well as the team would like to in its last game, but despite that, the players are not going to get discouraged.
In this story:

The Orlando Magic lost its second game in a row on Tuesday as the team fell to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Magic had six players in double digits on the game, and the team shot a decent percentage. While the Magic shot 46 percent from the field as a whole, its numbers from three were not quite as pretty.

The team shot 23 percent from three on the game and only made seven of its 30 shots from beyond the arc. But despite these struggles, head coach Jamahl Mosley has faith in his guys and knows that they will bounce back. He talked more about this in his postgame interview.

"We shot 7 for 30 and still had 23 assists, so we're trying to share the basketball," Mosley said. "I thought the ball movement was very good tonight. Our focus level of trying to attack and do the right things was there, but the shots didn't fall tonight. But our guys never hung their head. They continue to fish and that is what we are going to continue to do."

The Magic will need to get out of this shooting slump as fast as possible, as the team's next couple of games are against some tough opponents. The team will resume home games on Saturday with another bout with the Los Angeles Lakers, and then the Magic will face off with one of the hottest teams in the league, the Dallas Mavericks.

The Magic wrap up its three game road trip on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET from the Delta Center.
