Orlando Magic: Euro Final Loss – Berlin Highs, London Lows

The Wagner brothers were successful in their race to catch up in Berlin, but in London it was no longer enough: the Orlando Magic basketball players lost the second game of their European trip against the Memphis Grizzlies.

In the O2 Arena at Canery Wharf, the team from Florida lost 109:126 to strong Grizzlies, who took revenge for the 88:106 defeat in Germany three days earlier.

World and European champion Franz Wagner was the best of the three German Magic professionals with 14 points in his second appearance after his injury break, but remained on the bench in the final phase given the large deficit. Tristan da Silva scored four points, Moritz Wagner, who had recently recovered from a torn cruciate ligament, was rested this time.

For the Grizzlies, trained by the former successful Bonn coach Tuomas Iisalo, who, like in Berlin, got off to a much better start, the controversial top star Ja Morant shone with 24 points and 13 assists. The guard, who was suspended for one game this season after a dispute with Iisalo, was still missing in Berlin with an injury.
