After Action Report

The Grizzlies survived the Magic 103-99. Ugly basketball, but the Grizzlies did just enough. Grizzlies' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Grizzlies' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
