To say Saturday was an emotional day for the Magic would be an understatement.
In the early morning, Orlando learned about the death of Eddie Cole, the team’s long-time chaplain and former mayor of Eatonville.
By the end of the night, Jamahl Mosley‘s squad was celebrating a 128-127 overtime victory at the Jazz after Desmond Bane converted his second game-winner of the season for his new team that acquired him in a blockbuster trade over the summer.
“We talked about it at shootaround; there’s a shock at first,” Mosley said before the game about Cole, who died Saturday morning at his home after serving as the team chaplain for more than a decade.
