Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black on takeways after beating Pistons: “Just that we’re tough. We withstood the runs. They’re a physical team, tough team. Thought we met them, we brought that to them today and think we just did a good job combating that, staying the course, weathering the storm and just making big plays down the stretch.”
