ORLANDO - With just a little over three minutes remaining in the game and his team trailing by two, Mo Bamba walked over to the scorer’s table to get set to check in. Whom he was going to replace is unclear, but really it doesn’t matter.
As he waited for the next dead ball, it became obvious to the 7-foot center that the lineup that was on the floor was going to give his team the best chance to win. That group, featuring Cole Anthony, R.J. Hampton, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, and Wendell Carter Jr., were in a good rhythm.
