We were actually playing pretty well until we shifted to the second unit bench players. . . EARLY 1st quarter. 
—————————————————

Not the point I was trying to make at all.  We were tied with just a few minutes left in the half.  Cleveland upped their level of play and we reverted into our shell and started playing 2v 5 offense which helped fuel their run at the end of the half.  

I hear what you're saying. But what I don't understand is, a few games ago, we gave Corey Joseph props on how well he was playing the point guard position--pushing the ball, distributing the ball, and making shots. These past 2 games he has turned into AB 2.0, handing the ball to Franz then running and standing in the corner.

Our guards got involved defensively which really impacted the game at the end of the 3rd quarter.   All 5 guys have to contribute in order for us to have our best chance to win.

Great win and KCP actually contributed and made a 3 at the end that counted. About f ing time. I guess he needed that day off.

Oh, dam Mitchell couldn’t throw it in the ocean from the beach the last five minutes, that was nice to see.

What a great win and a great way to end a very successful road trip. Magic defense is back, and shots are beginning to fall again. KCP was impressive today. Have to give him some well-deserved props. Mitchell walked off the court without shaking hands. This win should have Magic fans reenergized with positivity.  We love winning. That I can tell you. I smell ULTRA!

I saw Mitchell on a bicycle during the fourth quarter. So whatever the injury, he probably couldn't get the lift to make a shot.  :)

Injuries are part of the game unfortunately. Especially this time of the season. If he was in there that means he was good enough to go. And knowing the type of person he is he probably won't make any excuses. The Magic defense played a huge part in this victory!  Let's keep it rolling!

Great win, best one of the season. And a 3-2 road trip against 5 good teams can hopefully put that nightmare home stand behind us. Cleveland missed a ton of open shots and we couldn’t get a rebound to save our lives, so they still terrify me in a series, but I’ll take today with a smile on my face

Shoutout to Dell, KCP and AB. Paolo and Franz both struggled today, but those 3 stepped up huge. Need to get some sort of consistency together for a couple non Paolo/Franz players!

Was that before or after his huge dunk over Paolo? Because he looked very spry on that one.

I don't remember if it was before or after the dunk. I only remember it was in the 4th quarter that I saw him on the bicycle.

Edit: Mitchell was probably strengthening the legs for a power dunk...hehehe!

Great win today!  We played a lot better on this road trip.  
 

Black had a good game also.  He seems to be the X-Factor when he scores 15-20 pts.
 

That along with Joseph shows we need a starting PG this summer.

i didn’t actually want to win this, but this was cool for Ty Jerome. The Cavs need that reality check soon. Some of these players are overachieving and they think they got it
