Magic Unable to Slow Down Ja Morant and the Grizzlies
The Lead
Cole Anthony posted 22 points, six rebounds and five assists, Jalen Suggs tallied 17 points and five assists and Franz Wagner had 15 points, his 46th double-digit scoring game this season, but the Orlando Magic were unable to slow down the electric Ja Morant and the rest of the fast-paced Memphis Grizzlies in Saturday’s 135-115 loss at Amway Center.
Key Stats
Although the last couple weeks the Magic had been generally outscoring their opponents in the paint, that was not the case Saturday against the Grizzlies, the league’s best at scoring inside. Memphis accumulated 68 paint points, double what Orlando had. The Grizzlies also outrebounded the Magic by 24.
