Orlando Magic Will 'Continue to Grow', Says Coach Jamahl Mosley After Standings Drop

The Orlando Magic recently dropped in the Eastern Conference standings, but head coach Jamahl Mosley thinks that it is a learning opportunity.

The Orlando Magic is fighting for a top-five seed in the Eastern Conference, and the team's second loss in a row does not help its efforts.

The team lost its most recent game to the Milwaukee Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and this caused them to drop to a tie with the Indiana Pacers for the five-seed. Despite this, head coach Jamahl Mosley believes that this could be a learning opportunity for the young players on the Magic.

"This is something that’s gonna be great for these young men to continue to grow, get better and know how big these moments are and to embrace them," Mosley said in his postgame interview after the team's loss to the Bucks.

The team lost in very disappointing fashion, as it lost to a team 117-99 who dit not have its best players. The team's shooting percentages could have used a bit of work, as well the rebounding, as these were the biggest factors in the loss.

The Magic has just two games left in the regular season to solidfy its seed and hopefull move up in the standings. The team will be looking to get some momentum to end the season that it can take into the postseason.

Mosley and the Magic will be looking to bounce back in the team's next game against Joel Embiid and the red-hot Philadelphia 76ers. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET from Wells Fargo Center.
