The Orlando Magic suffered a narrow defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies, losing 105-104, a game marked by missed opportunities and crucial mistakes. Coach Jamahl Mosley identified free throws and defensive rebounds as significant factors in the loss, highlighting the team’s inability to capitalize on late-game situations. Key players, including Cole Anthony and Franz Wagner, echoed these sentiments, noting the importance of maintaining focus in high-pressure moments and the need for improved communication within the team.

In the post-game analysis, Mosley took responsibility for a critical non-timeout situation that may have changed the game’s outcome. Anthony pointed to defensive lapses in the third quarter that allowed the Grizzlies back into contention. Wagner emphasized the need for collective awareness and communication on the court to overcome similar challenges in the future. The Magic look to rebound as they prepare to face the Washington Wizards next.
