Magic rally to beat Grizzlies as Thunder down Rockets
Gulf Today
|January 17, 2026
German forward Franz Wagner hit his stride late to help the Orlando Magic rally for a 118-111 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday in the first NBA regular-season game ever played in Germany.
-
The Grizzlies did their best to spoil the return of Orlando's Wagner brothers, Franz and Moritz, to their home country in the showcase game in Berlin.
Memphis led by as many as 20 points in the first half before the Magic stepped it up on the defensive end to turn the tide.
Orlando surrendered 39 points in the first quarter but allowed Memphis just 40 in the next two periods combined, Franz Wagner pointing to Orlando's 26-12 third quarter dominance as the difference-maker.
Wagner called it "super-special" to have a chance to show his Magic teammates around Berlin, the city where he grew up.
