Skiles: "We need a good game"

Thursday, January 14 2016 by SNTV
  • Orlando Magic are back in London for the first time since 1993 and on Thursday face the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Global Games

    SOUNDBITE (English): Scott Skiles, Orlando coach:

    (on having only one game in eight days)

    "It's very hard to have so many days with only one game, it's almost like an All-Star game type of situation. For us wherever we are, we are here which is great but wherever we are we need to have a good game. We have not played very well recently and Toronto have been so it is just important for us to come out and have a good game."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Scott Skiles, Orlando coach:

    (on playing the in-form Toronto Raptors):

    "We're playing a team that's playing very well and we've lost to some teams that have played well so we have to prepare for Toronto like we would any other team but our focus now really has to be on us. We were getting to a point where we strung some quality games together but we're falling away from that a bit."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Nikola Vucevic:

    (on Jonas Valanciunas):

    "Jonas (Valanciunas) is a very good player, we've played against each other a couple of times in Europe, we played for our national teams in some good match-ups and in the NBA too. He's a very good player, he's improved a lot, big guy, big body. I always enjoy going against him and those European matches were fun."
