Harris, Okeke and Anthony shine as Magic hold off Cavs

“Cole is a gamer who wants the moment, he wants the ball in his hands,” Harris said. “He’s going to be a very good player for a long time in this league. We’ve had some ups and downs, but we’re building something here.”

Anthony said he has a no-back-down mentality and knows that he belongs in this league.

“In order to make the right play, I felt like I had to have the ball in my hands, to be honest,” Anthony said. “My job as a point guard is to make things happen for my team the best way I can.”

Harris had himself a game as well. He finished with 19 points on 9 of 16 shooting in 34 minutes. He also grabbed 6 rebounds and passed for 7 assists.

As Harris’ overall health improves he seems to be rounding back into playing at a top level like he did when he was a member of the Denver Nuggets.

Magic rookie Chuma Okeke played a great game as well. He has really been stepping up lately. He scored 18 points on 7 of 12 shooting in 27 minutes of play. Chuma also shot 3 of 6 from the three-point line.

The Magic look to end the season on a high note in these final 10 games. This win in Cleveland was a great start to this final stretch of the season.

The Magic travel to Memphis to face the Grizzles next on Friday, 4/30. Tip-off is 8 pm Eastern.
