The Orlando Magic will welcome the Memphis Grizzlies to Amway Center for an NBA game on Thursday. The Magic won 126-115 in their last game over the Thunder. Paolo Banchero had 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Gary Harris and Terrence Ross each scored 18 points for the Magic. Wendell Carter Jr. added 13 points and 13 rebounds in his first start since Nov. 18.
“That’s our calling card as a team,” Banchero said. “If we’re playing good defense, we’re usually playing good offense. Tonight keeping them out of the paint was the biggest thing we had to do. They hit some 3s, but at the end of the day they kill teams in the paint. That was our main focus and we did a good job.”
The Grizzlies on the other hand won 107-131 against the Hornets in their last game. Ja Morant had 23 points and eight assists playing in front of relatives and friends, Desmond Bane added 19 points and 10 rebounds. Dillon Brooks scored 18 points and Jaren Jackson Jr. added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Grizzlies. Steven Adams had 15 rebounds for Memphis, which improved to 9-10 on the road.
Morant is a South Carolina native whose family lives about 90 minutes from Charlotte — and plenty of them make the trek to Spectrum Center to watch him play.“I had a lot of people come here and support me, as you could hear when I run out of the tunnel or if I score,” Morant said. “It’s definitely love here. I’m happy every time I get to come back and it’s even better when you win.”
