Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings was asked today about #MLBtoOrlando, specifically the @OrlandoDreamers

His message was twofold: we're seeing record TDT money come in (nearly $43 million last March alone), but it has to be a two-way street when it comes to funding from owners

Paolo Banchero's message was clear after the Magic blew a 3-1 series lead, falling in Game 7 in Detroit

Banchero's 38 points were a game high, but Orlando fell to 1-7 in playoff games when he scores 30+

Here is a brief look at the end of the @OrlandoMagic practice. The team seemed loose. But after talking to Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs they are dialed in and ready to counter a @DetroitPistons answer to game one.

The @OrlandoMagic won their first road playoff game under Jamahl Mosley. His message was "act like you've been there before" when he came off the floor. I asked him about that post game:

[Daren Stoltzfus WESH @DarenStoltzfus]

INSTANT REACTION: "When we understand what everybody is trying to accomplish on both sides of the ball, I think this team can be pretty good."

This is the first time under Jamahl Mosley the #Magic has had a series lead in the postseason.

[Daren Stoltzfus WESH @DarenStoltzfus]

"We showed today we belong."

- Franz Wagner

This is the first road playoff win for the #Magic under Jamahl Mosley and the first playoff series lead they've held under his leadership.

Detroit has now lost 11 straight home playoff games.
