Memphis 135, Orlando 115: Morant dazzles, Magic defense falters against Grizzlies

Paint points were a plenty for the Memphis Grizzlies in Orlando Saturday night, as they cruised to a 135-115 victory over the Orlando Magic. Led by Ja Morant, the Grizzlies outscored the Magic by 34 points in the paint (68-34).

“We did not do a very good job of that tonight,” Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley told reporters after the game when asked about his team’s ability to keep Memphis out of the paint. “He (Morant) was comfortable, he got to his spots on the floor where he needed to be. And again, us being physical and finding the basketball, we’ll have to do a much better job with that moving forward.
