The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 96 - 91 Tuesday at FedExForum. While the Grizzlies (15 - 8) were able to walk away with a five - point victory, they were one shot away from the game heading to overtime, as 76ers (4 - 18) shooting guard Nik Stauskas had a wide open 3 - point attempt to tie the game at 94 with about five seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Stauskas made just one shot from behind the arc in 38 minutes Tuesday, and luckily for Memphis, that was n't one of them. Marc Gasol led the way for an injury - plagued Grizzlies team with a double - double of 26 points and 12 rebounds in 34 minutes, and while the rest of the Memphis starters struggled to put together solid outings, the team's bench more than made up for that, with the five reserves posting 38 of the team's 96 points. The most important contributor of the bench mob, Zach Randolph, made his return to the floor after missing the last seven games due to the loss of his mother and posted a double - double of 12 points and a team - high 14 rebounds. For the 76ers, they got a big performance out of starting power forward Ersan Ilyasova, who did everything he could to keep Philadelphia in the game against a big and tough Grizzlies frontcourt. Ilyasova finished the game with 23 points and 17 rebounds - - his fourth double - double since he joined the 76ers. The man who he replaced in the starting lineup, Dario Saric, had yet another great night, posting 17 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench. In the end, Philadelphia left far too many points at the free throw line, as they shot a dreadful 13 - of - 26 from the stripe. Up next, the Grizzlies will stay at home Thursday to take on the Trail Blazers, while the 76ers look to notch their first road victory of the season Thursday at New Orleans against the Pelicans.
