Magic Unable to Slow Down Ja Morant and the Grizzlies
The Lead
Franz Wagner tallied 15 points, five rebounds and six assists and his older brother Moe Wagner, back after missing nine consecutive games with a rib injury, registered 17 points and 11 boards, but the Orlando Magic, like the rest of the league, had no answer for the electrifying Ja Morant in a 124-96 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night at FedExForum.
Key Stats
The Grizzlies scored 34 fast break points, a category they lead the league in. They also attempted 11 more free throws than the Magic, making 18 of their 27 tries. Although not typically a great 3-point shooting team, Memphis found the mark from deep by hitting 41.2 percent of their threes.
