The Memphis Grizzlies went 1-1 in a two-game series against the Orlando Magic. On the surface, that sentence doesn’t seem like an overwhelming negative, but the Grizzlies’ struggles have been front and center in these two games.
Heck, Orlando played their last game against the Grizzlies without their head coach, who was out due to COVID-19 protocols. The Magic were led by an assistant coach who had 9 healthy players to work with. And they beat Memphis.
With all due respect to the Magic, this should have been a 20+ point win for the Memphis Grizzlies.
