He also added 5 rebounds and 2 assists over 25 minutes, shooting 6-for-16 from the field and converting 3 free throws.
For Memphis, Ty Jerome and Cameron Boozer combined for 33 points, with Jerome scoring 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting and adding 4 assists, while Boozer contributed 16 points alongside 6 rebounds and 6 free throws made from 7 attempts. Both players saw comparable playing time around 19 to 22 minutes. However, Memphis's scoring was more distributed, with no single player surpassing Da Silva's point total.
A notable contrast in the game was Orlando's reliance on Da Silva's perimeter shooting, hitting 4 three-pointers compared to Memphis's combined 3 made threes from Jerome and Boozer.
