Welp. That 1st half could.have gone better.

These 76ers' vs hyper athletic teams. They have to outwork them which clearly didn't happen in that 1st half.

[BelmontShore]

Just past halftime, Embiid and Maxey are a combined 5 for 23. A comeback has been mounted, time for both to step up.

[Gennosuke]

Nice comeback by the Sixers to get the deficit down to one. It's been an uphill battle the entire game.

Now, let's see if they can get some crucial stops to pull this one out.

[BelmontShore]

Brian Nansel is a bought and paid for official.

Dude has tried to job the 76ers with 6 calls, so far.

He's called 4 phantom fouls, 2 on Tucker, 1 on Embiid and 1 on Reed. The over and back vs Harden was the worst. He just tried to get away with a charge on Harris but Rivers finally challenged, and won.

[Gennosuke]

Wow! Tobias with the 3-bomb for the one point lead, then JoJo with the breakaway slam.

3pt lead with 23 seconds left.

[BelmontShore]

Unbelievable.

It's 4am and I can't scream.

[BelmontShore]

So many silent fist pumps.

[Gennosuke]

McDaniels finally corrals the rebound after Memphis gets three attempts to tie it.

[Gennosuke]

Big win for the Sixers!

Looked like they were treading water for the most of the game. They were able to hang around, but didn't seem capable of making a big enough push to take lead. Then they finally overtook the Grizz in the final minutes.
