Preseason is always more about the player performances rather than the outcome, but I won’t complain about a down-to-the-wire victory over the Magic for our first game back to Memphis Grizzlies basketball. The game itself was a tale of two halves, both of which ended with Memphis barely on top. The first half was hotly contested with Orlando jumping out ahead due to an impressive shooting night for Evan Fournier. Mike Conley and Marc Gasol were able to hit a familiar groove together and Wade Baldwin IV finished the half with a +/- of 14, leading the team to comeback to a 51-50 lead.
