After the Magic lost by 14 points to the Cavaliers at Kia Center on Saturday night, Orlando coach Jamahl Mosley and guard Desmond Bane insisted the team generated open looks from 3-point range against Cleveland.
“They were open, correct? … We’ve got to step into them and knock them down,” Mosley said at the time. “That’s what it boils down to.”
Added Bane: “[We] got some open shots throughout the meat of the game, and shots just didn’t fall.”
Taking a look at the advanced numbers, neither were incorrect in their diagnosis of the situation.
