Disappointed with his starters, Jamahl Mosley preferred to leave the subs in the game
Exactly in the middle of the third quarter, in Magic 26 points behind in Washington. Jett Howard, Jace Richardson etc Noah Penda will then take full advantage of his presence on the floor to play without complexes and allow Orlando to come back. So much so that six minutes from the end of the game, after a basket from the second, there was only a four point difference…
“I liked what they did. I liked the way they played. They played with intensity, urgency, desire. It wasn’t perfect, but they did their best when they had a chance to get back on the floor.”, welcomes Jamal Mosley when talking about his replacements.
Therefore, as a slap in the face to his managers, the Magic coach will not offer his starters a chance to return to the game and try to win, which will end up in the hands of the Wizard. Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane, Anthony Black, Wendell Carter Jr. and Tristan da Silva will spend the last 16 minutes of the match on the bench!
“We have to have the same energy as the replacements”
“The substitutions brought us back into the match. They made it possible for us to come back so this group deserved to be on the floor”the coach justifies himself. “They gave everything. They had energy, thought and fight. That’s all we can ask of a player and that’s what they did.”
In detail, Jett Howard scored 10 points with 6 rebounds, Jace Richardson scored 20 points, and France’s Noah Penda added 10 units and 4 steals. The last two will only lose two balls each, while Anthony Black, Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bain will lose four each!
“Lessons are always learned in victories and defeats. Well, those are lost balls: we scored 19 of them, turned them into 29 points.” regrets Jamal Mosley. “We have to make free throws, too. We missed some.” (16/24) and we couldn’t defend ourselves without making a mistake. These are the things we talk about every night. We have to stick with it and we have to have the same energy as the replacements. We must have this to start the meeting. »
