The Memphis Grizzlies were playing extremely well in the month of April before hitting a two-game skid against the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers. After two straight blowout losses, a matchup against a pretty bad team in the Orlando Magic couldn’t come at a more timely moment.
The Magic are in the Eastern Conference in a dogfight against the Detroit Pistons to determine who will be the worst in their conference. Luckily for Memphis, they’ll face Orlando twice and Detroit in about a week.
