Franz Wagner, Cole Anthony Score 30 Points Each, Lead Magic Past Hornets in Orlando

“I think everybody in the building believes so and that’s what made this,” he said. “That’s how it starts for us, I think — the change in our mentality compared to the last two years.”

“It wasn’t our best start, it wasn’t our best game, but you can’t be mad about a win in the NBA,” said Anthony, who also had seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. “We’ve got to approach everything the exact same way. We’ve set a standard for ourselves and we need to maintain that standard.”

Cole Anthony scored 30 points as well off of the bench. Anthony scored his 30 on 9-for-16 shooting. Anthony knocked down 1-for-3 from behind the three-point line. He knocked down 11-for-12 from the free-throw line. Anthony grabbed seven rebounds, dished out seven assists, and recorded two steals.
