MEMPHIS, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Marc Gasol's 19 points and 13 rebounds Friday helped lift Memphis to a tougher-than-expected 88-82 victory over shorthanded Orlando.
The Magic had only seven players available for the game following a flurry of activity at the NBA trade deadline. None of the four players Orlando received in deals with Milwaukee and Charlotte were in uniform, but the Magic still put on a fourth-quarter rally to make a game of it.
