Hey, Drew, no one cares how the sausage is made, just that it tastes good on the #VictoryPizza.

Wins are wins. The Magic are learning that pretty plainly. The wins against the 76ers count the same as the ones against the Warriors. That is the plain truth of the matter.

Morale matters with how low this team was heading into the firing of Jacque Vaughn. There is a different feeling among this bunch now. There is no denying that. And that could get the team moving in the right direction.
