After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Grizzlies outlasted the 76ers 104-95. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
