What’s the buzz on Twitter?

I asked #Magic coach Jamahl Mosley about Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s 0-of-6 performance from 3 in Game 2 and how to get more shooting from him in Game 3:

Didn’t see KCP in the #Magic locker room.

Wendell Carter smiled when I asked him about the crowd getting on him: “It’s physical. It’s the playoffs. It comes with it. KCP just so happened to be in it, but it could’ve been any of us. It happens…we love that though….” – 10:33 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe

Asked Al Horford whether the trip by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was intentional: “Yeah, it was,” he told the Globe. “I was starting to run on the break and he got into me there and impeded my progress.” #Celtics #Magic10:27 PM

It’s easy to appreciate Paolo Banchero’s game. It just adds another layer when you see he’s making these slick power moves while being a legit 6-10. Taller than Al Horford. – 9:18 PM

KCP is 0/7 tonight. – 8:50 PM

John Karalis @John_Karalis Looks like KCP and Horford just got tangled up, but because it’s KCP, things got heated.

Reviewed for a flagrant but it’s a common foul. Crowd boos but it’s the right call. – 7:59 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning

Mosley on Tatum’s potential absence: “He’s such an unbelievable scoring threat. Other guys pick up the slack … usually it’s Al Horford who gets the nod there.” – 5:36 PM
