Here’s Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley explaining how important Jalen Suggs’ lockdown defense is to the team overall after Wednesday’s 119-109 road win vs. the Washington Wizards (5-game winning streak).
(via Orlando Magic):
Reporter: “Describe how Jalen Suggs is really the point of attack for the defense.”
Mosley: “Jalen Suggs starts everything off for us, there’s no other way to put it. When he is defending the way he has been defending lately, it’s hard for other teams to do anything, because he’s so aggressive, he knows how to keep guys in front, he plays the right way, and I just think he sets the tone right away. But you gotta give that group credit for each guy in that second half coming out wanting to defend the right way, and just knowing it was about getting stops more than anything.”
