Gasol has 26 points, 12 boards to lead Grizzlies past Sixers
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies are showing a knack for pulling out close games.
The Philadelphia 76ers were just too young and too short-handed to stop that trend.
Marc Gasol had 26 points and 12 rebounds, and Memphis finally put away the 76ers 96-91 on Tuesday night.
The victory was the Grizzlies’ 11th straight that either went to OT or was decided by five points or fewer. Grizzlies coach David Fizdale said he hasn’t determined the formula that allows the Grizzlies to escape in close encounters.
