"I was just going out there and being patient," said Oladipo. "Going out there and having fun. I wanted to win first and foremost. As far as how I felt, I don't care, I just want to win."

"It doesn't matter what I did on the court, what matters is if we win," said Antetokounmpo. "We have to keep at it because we're going in the right direction."
Orlando began to pull away during the middle stages of the third.
Oladipo finished off a 13-2 run with a layup to give the Magic a 71-59 advantage with 3:08 left in the third and they took an 80-68 cushion going into the fourth.
