Jason Beede: Earlier in the locker room in Detroit, I asked #Magic guard Anthony Black what’s going to stick with him from this season. He replied: “Losing Game 6.”
With Wagner out, Mosley employed an eight-man rotation. Jamal Cain, who started in Wagner’s place, was a non-factor on offense. The only bench player who made a clearly positive impact was third-year guard Anthony Black, who scored 19 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out three assists. Making up for Wagner’s absence Friday in Game 6 will be a difficult task, even at home. Under Mosley, the Magic have compiled an 8-1 postseason record at Kia Center, and the Magic will need every ounce of that home-court advantage they can muster. “It’s a must-win,” center Wendell Carter Jr. said. “Just how desperate they were (tonight), we should be just as desperate, if not more. We don’t want to come back here.”
