More possessions, but also more turnovers for the Magic
After losing two days earlier, The Celtics got their revenge facing Magicwith important 3-point baskets at the end of the game. What also killed Orlando was the 17 turnovers in this match.
“There was a match there. We had some lapses in defense, but when we lose 17 balls, converted into 29 points for them, we don’t get many matches like that.”, laments Jamahl Mosley.
The players have the same feeling, especially Paolo Banchero, the author of six turnovers. “Boston were very good at converting turnovers into points. They are very experienced and we can’t afford to give away so many balls. We paid for it.”looks inside. “It’s clear that we can do better in this area. It repeats itself in every match, win or lose.”notes Jalen Suggs.
The Magic are actually giving up 16.8 turnovers per game since the start of the season. This is the 8th worst average in the league and above all it is 2.5 more than last season, while Jamal Mosley’s players develop faster this season. Except that five more possessions played per game this year are obviously loaded with turnovers…
So how can we maintain this sustainable pace while limiting waste?
“You can’t play between defenders. If there are two on the ball carrier, you have to move”warns the Magic coach. “The game is going to give you answers. He’s always going to give you answers. When we’re open, we have to shoot. You have to do very simple things.”
