Desmond Bane delivers dramatic win for Magic: ‘Something that we can rally around’

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.
