QUOTABLE<\/p>\n

Orlando Magic head coach Sean Sweeney on what they’re looking to build on with Cavs matchup: “One of the things that I really want us to hit on when we go up there is our discipline on both sides of the ball, discipline to be in the right spots defensively, disciplined to make sure we make the right call every time. We want to have some things be a little bit more automatic when we know we’re supposed to do it. So not should I or shouldn’t I, but some more automatic behaviors.”<\/p>\n

“And then offensively disciplined to be where we are supposed to be. Make sure we’re disciplined in our spacing and our decision making and then just make sure that we do a good job continuing to build the habits that we brought in to competition here last game.”<\/p>\n
