magic win first game of the year

Nigerian born Orlando Magic rookie, Victor Oladipo says the biggest lesson for him in his side’s first victory of the year was seeing all his team mates working as one.

Oladipo said it was hard for any player not to be at his best when he had the support of his team mates.

”Everybody was eager to win so we’ve got to be like that every game,” he said. ”When you have a mindset of just continue to play hard, and when your teammates have your back, it’s hard not to be involved and focused and locked in.” Oladipo said.

Arron Afllalo had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Tobias Harris added 18 points and the magic snapped a season-high 10-game losing streak with a 93-91 win on Sunday night.

After a close fourth quarter with several ties, Harris sank a pair of free throws with 10.1 seconds remaining to give Orlando its first victory since Dec. 29.
