The ups and downs at the end of the regular season have paid dividends for the Orlando Magic against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Jonathan Isaac and Markelle Fultz are the only players remaining from the Magic's last playoff appearance in 2020. Despite the turnover and young players that make up its roster, Orlando hasn't played like a team that hasn't been in the moment before.
"Their ability to reflect on those experiences, I think you can go through them and if you don't reflect on them and know exactly what has gotten you to that point, then it's pointless," Mosley said."Our guys have reflected and you can look back at those situations and look back at those moments...It says so much about them and this group and the way that they continue to bond together.
The ability to weather the storm has proven crucial for Orlando and no moment epitomized that like Game 6. The Magic had to withstand a 13-0 run at the beginning of the third quarter and trailed by as many as nine points before embarking on a comeback that was led by the trio of Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs plus clutch baskets from Cole Anthony in the fourth quarter.
“I loved it," Suggs said."I think all series long we’ve done a great job of staying so poised. We’ve responded to every run they’ve made, every game they’ve won, every punch they’ve thrown and anything they’ve done to try to throw us off of our game, knock us off balance. We’ve responded to it; we’ve acknowledged it and we’ve stayed centered and together and I think tonight was another example of that.
