POSTGAME SOUND: MAGIC VS. HAWKS | COACH MOSE.

What did you see that possession I mean give him cred hit a tough shot over a high hand uh we were bringing a guy to him and by the time he got the shot off you know he it’s a tough shot that made it down the stretch as far as throughout the game

Guys glass also forced them into a lot of turnovers did something kind of maybe change down the stret kind of g a little bit of an edge yeah you know we they had three offensive rebounds in the first first half they ended up with 10 so that’s seven offensive rebounds in the

Second half uh which gave them extra possessions um now mind you you know we we were doing a decent job early on of Defending without fouling uh I think they called six fouls on that back stretch uh down in the fourth quarter so put them on the free throw line uh late

In the game which allowed them to score with the clock stopped uh so we got to be more disciplined and showing our hands again you know give them credit for the way in which they played and they battled and they fought uh but again you know we’ve got to make sure we

Clean up the glass uh in the second half as well as you know knock down you know our free throws just the same you know 16 for 22 while they were 20 for 22 those are the margins in the games like this and it’s been that way since we’ve been playing this

Team struggling a bit especially in those last several minutes but get a timely shot with a few seconds left uh is that just kind of the way he’s built as far as wanting to take those shots even if he’s been missing push he’s going to step into all of his shots with

Confidence you know they did a heck of a job on him defensively uh being extremely physical early trying to keep him out of his areas of where he gets downhill uh then he started turning the corner a little bit getting bumped but he was able to finish some at The Rim

Again you got to give them credit for the way in which they played uh dejonte hits a tough shot at the end of the game how much how much of maybe the blessing of this game is to control the things that you can control maybe not for ball

The three times that you did at the end of the third quarter making a super was like winning those Mar and that’s what we have to continue to understand it’s it’s never about that final shot you know everyone wants to look at that and obviously it goes in

And so now you don’t get the game but it’s ultimately it’s those early turnovers it’s the Box outs in the third quarter where they come up with three extra possessions those are the games that those are the things that change the game and we talk about the little

Details and in games like this that’s what it’s going to continue to be excuse me marel and Wendell played a good portion of tonight I think they on the bo majority of the end there are they close to returning the St lineup I’m just going to go back to whatever

The game is telling me that’s a lot of what this is going to be and I we’ll continue to fill it out as a group uh as we can start to get some practices at some point under our belt where we can continue to build and grow with the the

Camaraderie and chemistry of those guys on the floor but it’s not a dictator of whether they’re going to be or indicator of whether they’re going to be in the lineup or not what would you think of Jonathan Isaac and just how acate he can beats limited short amount of time just the impact

I he does an excellent job I think he does a great job of protecting at The Rim uh changing up with who he can guard he can guard one through five disruption at The Rim um sitting down and contesting shots impacting all shots uh came up with some big steals down there

I I think he just does an excellent job for us and uh he is a game changer for us defensively it’s easier said than done trying to run uh Trey young and both the Shante off the line when they get to the basket you know guys are

Collapsing and it’s leaving Guys open in the paint where there’s certain adjustments that you wanted to see there as you know guys were consistently cutting into the basket and getting easy looks well listen I think we did a great job on them defensively from keeping them off the three-point line which was

What what what is where they you know they Thrive uh I I think we have to be a little bit more disciplined in the way in which we were coming helping uphill which allowed those lobs to Capella allowed those lob to um Aang you got we

Got to be a little bit smarter there but there’s these are lessons we’re going to continue to learn uh our guys are doing a a good job you know you hold a team like that to 106 was a high scoring offense but again we just the little

Things within the game we have to continue to grow and get better and with a handful of games now kind of under markel’s uh you know getting back onto the court really his job and his progression really in the half court offense feeling a lot more comfortable getting downhill attacking the basket

You know what are you just liking to see from him so far just what you said his ability to attack the basket uh get down in the gaps uh create for his teammates finding guys as the defense collapses uh being able to find the right spacing on the floor approach obviously has been

Kind of one of big struggles for the team how has this team able to kind of keep that defensive shape without the how much need it is maybe to to find that rhythm again you know said couple practices maybe coming up next week but

Yeah how many is it def that we have to again we’re getting great looks and it’d be one thing if we weren’t getting excellent looks each night uh but we are getting Great Looks these guys have to continue to step in um with confidence and and knock the shots down because you

Know Paulo’s generating two guys on the basketball he’s making the right play we just got to be willing and wanting to step in and knock the shots down great thank you all thank you
