Keep the Fight: Memphis Defeats Orlando by 13 Points, Ja Morant Delivers a Spectacular Performance

The Memphis Grizzlies secured a bounce-back 124-111 victory over a resilient Orlando Magic team.

Just a day after falling to the Houston Rockets by 20 points in the first game of a back-to-back, Memphis put on a strong showing in the second leg.

This performance was encouraging for the Grizzlies, as Coach Taylor Jenkins saw solid contributions across the board.

Most players delivered, highlighted by three key takeaways from the game. Jenkins used a deep rotation, with 11 players logging double-digit minutes and Yuki Kawamura playing in the final minutes after the game was decided.

This approach shows Jenkins’ commitment to involving everyone on the roster, though it’s likely to narrow down to an 8-9 player rotation as the season progresses. Still, having a broad group of contributors is promising for the long term.

With 79 games left in the regular season, the Grizzlies have a bright outlook. They’ve shown the right attitude so far—they just need to keep up their level of execution.
