Magic and Grizzlies Tangle at Amway Center
The Memphis Grizzlies (29-42) snapped a two-game skid in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night, dropping the visiting Houston Rockets in overtime, 126-125. Former Raptor Jonas Valanciunas led the Grizzlies on both ends of the floor in the victory, dropping 33 points, hauling in 15 rebounds, and shooting 13-of-17 from the charity stripe. Mike Conley put up a team-high 35 points, facilitating eight assists and grabbing five boards while going 6-of-9 from deep, as Bruno Caboclo rounded out the double digit scoring for the starting five with 15 points and seven rebounds to his credit. Chandler Parsons came off the bench with 11 points and three triples for a Memphis team that no longer has a dog in the postseason hunt, but are looking to play spoiler down the stretch. The team heads back to FedExForum on Saturday to begin a tough three-game home stand that includes visits from the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors.

Wednesday night saw the Orlando Magic (34-38) win their third straight contest, as they took care of the New Orleans Pelicans on home court, 119-96. With 22 points, five rebounds and three assists, Evan Fournier led the team offensively, going 9-of-13 from the field and 3-of-5 from behind the arc. Nikola Vucevic, a large part of the reason why Orlando remains in the hunt in the Eastern Conference, logged a double-double with 15 points and 17 rebounds, making all four of his attempts from the foul line, while Aaron Gordon delivered 20 points, seven boards, six assists and four three-pointers. Terrence Ross played off the pine to the tune of 19 points and five triples of his own for the Magic, who remain a game-and-a-half behind the Miami Heat for the eight seed in the conference. Orlando owns the fifth-worst offense in the league, one that averages 105.9 points per game.
