MEMPHIS, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- Tracy McGrady scored 25 points despite sitting out the fourth quarter Saturday night as the Orlando Magic crushed the Memphis Grizzlies for the second time this season and ninth game in a row, 119-103.
The game was much more lopsided than the final score indicated. It was very similar to the Magic's 113-71 waxing of the Grizzlies in Orlando on Dec. 3, the second-biggest home victory in franchise history.
In this one, Mike Miller had 11 points in the first quarter to stake the Magic to a 41-17 lead. Orlando led by as many as 33 points in the second quarter and took a 69-44 advantage into halftime.
Memphis, which played without injured forwards Shane Battier (strained left groin) and Stromile Swift (flu), got no closer than 15 points in the second half.
Troy Hudson scored 18 points for the Magic, who improved to 11-1 all-time against the Grizzlies. Miller finished with 16 for Orlando, which had lost three of its last four contests.
Rookie Pau Gasol led Memphis with 26 points and a season-high 17 rebounds. Fellow first-year players Will Solomon and Antonis Fotsis added season highs of 23 and 21 points, respectively, for the Grizzlies, who have lost three in a row since a season-high three-game winning streak.
