Game Recap

The Memphis Grizzlies’ comeback efforts came up just short in a 122-119 overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers
on Monday night at Wells Fargo Center.

Desmond Bane turned in a career high 34 points (12-for-21 FG), seven rebounds and three steals.
Ja Morant notched his seventh consecutive 30-point scoring night with 37 points, five rebounds
and five assists. Morant, the NBA’s leading paint scorer, scored 27 of his 37 points in the paint. Jaren
Jackson Jr.
added 18 points with seven rebounds and two blocks.

Tyrese Maxey poured in a season-high tying 33 points with eight assists and three rebounds and
Tobias Harris had 31 points with five rebounds and five assists. Andre
Drummond
recorded a double-double with 16 points and 23 rebounds.

With a one-point deficit in the final minute, Seth Curry drove to lane and knocked down a
floater off the glass over Adams to give the 76ers the lead with 33.9 seconds remaining. Morant responded with
an acrobatic layup through contact from Drummond to tie the game and send it to overtime.

Maxey scored six points in the overtime period, including the decisive layup with 26.4 seconds remaining. Morant
got to the paint and dished the Ball to Ziaire Williams in the corner, but the
3-point attempt from Williams bounced off the rim, as the Grizzlies dropped to 35-18.

in the second quarter to shrink the deficit to just five points at the break. Bane led the Grizzlies with 15
points and four rebounds at the half while Harris notched 18 points for the 76ers.
