During Orlando’s 133-113 victory against the San Antonio Spurs Friday night, Cole Anthony was one assist shy of his first career triple-double (23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists). He did so in 30 minutes off the Magic’s bench, the third-most minutes he has played in a game this season.
And while the amount of minutes Anthony got may not be indicative of what is to come for the third-year guard (Markelle Fultz was injured midway through the first quarter, forcing an early substitution) what Anthony did with those minutes is.
Anthony got started with a catch-and shoot three-pointer following a kick-out from Wendell Carter Jr.
