After three defeats in a row, Orlando won confidently against the Memphis Grizzlies 118:88 and consolidated fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

“Even if you don’t win, that doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t play good basketball. We always have to stick to our process, that’s what the boys did,” said coach Jamahl Mosley.

With 43:31 wins, the team from Orlando has three more successes than the Miami Heat (40:33), who are currently seventh.

The first six teams make it directly to the knockout round, the teams in seventh to tenth place have to compete in the play-in tournament.

Franz Wagner is still fighting with threes

In the never-threatened win against Memphis, Franz Wagner played solidly (13 points, four rebounds), but again showed weaknesses in three-pointers and didn’t hit any of his four attempts.

28.5 percent hit rate from beyond the three-point line is by far the worst value of his NBA career; last year it was 36.1 percent. Moritz Wagner contributed four points to the victory.
