Absolutely pathetic.

Terrible game.

Pointless win against a team we will surely be racing against for lottery seeds.

There is nothing to gain from this.

Horrible.

What a shot. What a post game interview. LOL. What a freaking legend.

If Cole becomes something special, this is where it started.

As much as I hate the win, that was cool as hell.

The team really rallied to play some composed, veteran basketball at the end to close the gap and get the win in those final 2 minutes (which was all I tuned in for). Didn't feel deserved since we were beating up on a pretty bad and raw team, but they got it.

I'd have preferred the loss, but if you're going to steal a win with your rookie hitting a big clutch 3 and game winning buzzer beater then it's the best way to win.

This scenario only came about because T. Ross fouled out. Cole would've never seen the floor otherwise. Props to Cole staying ready and not afraid of the moment.

The Magic were down and they rallied back to snap the losing skid. Really good to get Evan Fournier back too but I am so happy they got a win. This was one of the most exciting finishes I can remember.

Obviously he's going to have his struggles as a rookie who didn't have the summer with the team, and who got thrust into a big role very quickly due to injury. But between the preseason game that he won, and this, I think it shows something. He's not afraid of pressure moments.

Btw I'm still alive and following games, it's just frustrating right now because my family switched to Dish Network and, well, you know what that means as a Magic fan in Central Florida.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Seriously. A bad foul call on us ultimately won us the game :banghead:

We were bound to win one of these games. Certainly doesn't bode well that we struggled against this team so if we want lots of losses, I'm sure they're coming.

This organization would never commit to a tank..Even when it makes sense to do so for at this season....that's why we're going to be on the treadmill for the foreseeable future

Cannot disagree more. I am also stunned by the Wolves inability to close a won game or they are just tanking wizards.

I'm also rooting for losses, especially in the games versus our draft lottery opponents.

But even if we win, we did in an inspiring fashion, and it also never hurts for our talented rookie to be able and have the opportunity to finally build some confidence in his shot-making ability.l despite Cliff's nonsensical rotations.

I know you don't like Cole, but come on, man. He had a solid game and hit two daggers from three at the end to win us the game coming from behind on the road. We should appreciate that...and lose the rest of the games.
