How Orlando Magic are buying into team’s depth and playing selfless basketball | NBA on NBC

NBA CONTENTION. ALL RIGHT. WE WERE JUST TAKING A LOOK AT ALL THE STATS AND HISTORY THAT ORLANDO WAS MAKING WITHIN THIS GAME. HOW ABOUT THIS? THAT’S THE FIFTH MOST POINTS THEY’VE SCORED IN FRANCHISE HISTORY. WITH THAT 144. >> NONE OF MY TEAMS UP. >> I’M ABOUT TO SAY. NO, NO. >> HEY, YOU LOOK AT THE YEARS 95, NO. 19, NO. >> TWO OF OUR GAMES COULDN’T COMBINE FOR THAT BACK IN THE DAYS. >> IT’S CRAZY HOW MUCH THE GAME CONTINUES TO CHANGE, BUT WE SAW IT. I MEAN, THE SECOND QUARTER, THE MAGIC SCORED 51 POINTS. THEY WERE SHOOTING AT 70:04 PERCENT FROM THE FIELD. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS LIKE? WHAT WAS WORKING FOR HIM THE MOST HERE TONIGHT? >> WELL, THEY PLAYED A TEAM THAT HAS THAT’S PRETTY MUCH HAS A TOE TAG ON THEM. THEY IN THE. >> MORGUE. >> SO. >> SO THAT. >> DOESN’T HURT. I MEAN THIS IS A DEPLETED PHILADELPHIA TEAM, RIGHT? THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, RIGHT? SO EVEN WITH VENTURE OUT. BUT THEY STILL I THINK WHAT SHOWED TONIGHT FOR THE ORLANDO MAGIC IS THEIR DEPTH. AND WE HAVEN’T REALLY SEEN THAT WITH THEM. THESE YOUNG GUYS COMING IN AND GIVING AND PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, THE ENERGY OFFENSIVELY, DEFENSIVELY WHAT THEY’RE DOING GETTING OUT IN TRANSITION. EASY BASKETS. IF THEY CAN SUSTAIN THIS WITH YOU KNOW WITH THE THE BENCH PLAYERS BEING THIS THIS HAVING THIS DEPTH. IF THEY COULD BRING THIS EVERY NIGHT THEN ORLANDO CAN WORK THEIR WAY UP INTO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE STANDINGS. >> FOR ME, IT’S THE BUY IN. >> YEAH. >> EVERYBODY BUYING IN, EVERYBODY BEING PATIENT. EVERYBODY ALLOWING THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO THEM. BANCHERO OUT OKAY. NEXT MAN UP. WE HEAR IT. NEXT MAN MENTALITY. NEXT MAN MENTALITY. CAN GUYS BUY INTO THAT AND BE PATIENT. WELL YOU’RE SEEING ANTHONY BLACK BLACK BEING PATIENT GETTING HIS OPPORTUNITY. IT’S LEADING TO THIS. GUYS ARE CONFIDENT AND I LOVE WHAT HE SAID. HE SAID SUGGS WAS FINDING ME BECAUSE I WAS HOT. THAT’S JUST THAT’S JUST SELFLESS BASKETBALL. AND I LOVE TO SEE THAT FROM A YOUNG TEAM. >> YEAH, 51 POINTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER. BUT YOU CAN’T JUST LOOK AT THE OFFENSE TO DEFENSE. THE DEFENSE WAS CREATING EASY BASKETS. THEY WANT TO RUN. THEY’RE PLAYING FASTER. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO IT. THEY’RE THE ONES ONE OF THE FEW TEAMS IN THE NBA THAT ARE PLAYING FAST. >> WELL IT’S INTERESTING. I FEEL LIKE WHEN WE CAME INTO THE SEASON, A COUPLE OF TEAMS THAT YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT A LOT IN THE EAST IS MAYBE BEING A SURPRISE OR HAVING A LOT OF POTENTIAL HAWKS FOR YOU, OBVIOUSLY, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT THE MAGIC A TON. DO WE FEEL LIKE THEY’RE RISING TO THAT EXPECTATION RIGHT NOW? >> YEAH, I THINK THEY’RE FIGURING IT OUT. THEY STARTED ONE IN FOUR AND THEY’VE BEEN REALLY GOOD. SUGGS DOESN’T PLAY ON BACK TO BACKS. THEY HAVE A LOSING RECORD WHEN SUGGS DOESN’T PLAY. BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK THEY’RE 9-5 OR MAYBE EVEN NINE AND 9-4 WHEN HE DOES. SO OBVIOUSLY SUGGS IS A BIG PART OF WHAT THEY DO WHEN HE’S HEALTHY. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO’S OUT WHEN HE’S HEALTHY. THEY SEEM TO PLAY AT A REALLY GOOD PACE AND THEY PLAY A LOT BETTER. >> BUT THE BEAUTIFUL THING IS, IF SUGGS IS OUT, YOU NOW CAN IMPLEMENT ANTHONY BLACK AND PLAYING VERY GOOD BASKETBALL BECAUSE OF HIS CONFIDENCE NOW. >> YEAH. CAME OFF THE BENCH WITH THOSE 31 POINTS. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY IT LOOKS SUPER COMFORTABLE. MEANWHILE 76ers GO BACK TO WORK A LOT OF INJURIES. THEY PLAYED THEIR 11th D
