The Memphis Grizzlies entered a game against the Philadelphia 76ers with cautious optimism. They had performed well against the 76ers this season, but couldn’t take a game against a strong team lightly.
Entering the game, the 76ers were in sole ownership of the 1 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoff race. The Grizzlies would erase that title. After a home loss, this talented team now shares the same record as a Brooklyn Nets team that also lost today.
For the Grizzlies, this is a huge win.
