These Zu free throws are so unfortunate.
For as effective as Zu is in scoring position, the turnover rate and subpar free throw shooting cap his already limited upside.
LA takes a timeout after two missed Zu FTs and a Zu turnover that led to a Washington fast break. – 12:08 AM

The Grizzlies have won four games in a row since Ja Morant returned. Marcus Smart made a difference in his first game back. There’s some magic brewing in Memphis right now.

Magic lead the Wizards 63-60 at halftime, nice run at the end of the quarter there from Daniel Gafford to keep the Wiz close.
Kispert leads with 15, Jones has 13. Anthony Black has 17 for Orlando… which is already a new career high for a single game. – 8:09 PM
