Magic’s Cole Anthony to focus on defense after roller-coaster season

Posted May 13, 2025

He scored 35 points off the bench against the Heat on Dec. 21, tying the third-most points by a reserve in Orlando franchise history, and a week later sank a game-winning floater with 1.3 seconds left vs. Brooklyn.
