In the third quarter, the Magic have already led by 19 points. Seltic's condition rebounded in the last quarter, and the score difference once reached single digits. The Magic called several timeouts to stabilize the morale of the army, and Seltic was unable to turn the situation around and suffered its first three-game losing streak for the season.
Full game, Irving played for 40 minutes, made 14 of 23 shots and scored 40 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
"We need to go through some adversity and get out of it," Irving said after the game. "We need to be united. There will definitely be many difficulties in the next away game, but we must be able to withstand the test no matter what. This is the process of growth, we can find a way to see our response."
Seltic will face a West District away trip next, facing the Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Gold Nuggets in succession.
"We will play against some teams in the West that are very eager to win," said Irving. "Some of their teams are doing well when they come to our home court, except for the speedboats that have not yet played. This away trip is an opportunity for our young team, and we must unite and continue to improve. It's interesting because we are all learning and growing each other, and the next away game is a test."
