Magic 'Showing Growth Every Step of the Way', Says Jamahl Mosley
The Orlando Magic lost its last game in heartbreaking fashion, as the team only lost to the Milwaukee Bucks by four points. But despite the loss, the team has some positives that it can take from the last couple of games.
One of the hardest things to do in the NBA is to play in a back-to-back against solid teams, and that is exactly what the Magic had to do in its last couple of games. The Miami Heat got the best of the Magic 115-106, and then the last game against the Bucks. Despite the losses, Jamahl Mosley talked about the positive takeaways that came from the back-to-back in his postgame interview.

"It's easy to find excuses in this league for why you don't do things, and the great part about this group is that they find a reason to do it," Mosley said. "They find a reason to play harder, they find a reason to pull together, they find a reason to defend the right way. They take on the challenge of what we didn't do last night, and they took that to heart and carried it over to tonight. The outcome is not what you want, but we have to keep looking at levels of growth and maturity for a group that is continuing to band together, because we've got a long season to go, and these guys are showing growth every step of the way."
The Magic has one of the youngest rosters in the entire league, and the fact that the team has been able to play as good as it has is a testament to how well the team is coached, and how well the team can play as a unit.
The Magic will get a day of rest before the team is back in action in its second game of a three-game road trip on Saturday night against Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET from Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
