In a track meet, the Magic outlasted the Grizzlies 126-113. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
