Marc Gasol was two assists shy of a triple double with 12 points, 16 rebounds, and eight assists. Beno Udrih scored 15 points and passed for five assists. Tony Allen and Courtney Lee combined for 32 points scoring 17 and 16 respectively.
Memphis outscored Orlando in the paint 58-42.

Memphis’ next game is tonight as they host the Portland Trail Blazers. When asked about playing next game Mike Conley had this to say: “Obviously you don’t want to miss too much time. We just got Jeff (Green) and we have a little winning streak going. We want to build some momentum going into the All-Star break. I am going to try and get back as soon as I can. I am going to say day-to-day right now. I would love to play tomorrow and hopefully I will be feeling 122% better tomorrow morning.”
