The Memphis Grizzlies were in familiar territory. They were short three starters due to injury. What do you know? Nothing new.
The Magic came out hot, drilling their first field goal attempts (all 3’s). However, the bench once again came in and saved the day, overcoming a first quarter deficit to close with a three-point lead.
It was close all game, but the Magic’s defense was too much in the fourth quarter. While the Grizzlies scored 24 points — and outscored the Magic by four — Orlando forced back-to-back shot-clock violations and did anything possible to clog the lane for Tyreke Evans.
