The Philadelphia 76ers didn’t have the right decisions to finish the game properly against the Memphis Grizzlies during their last game. The team didn’t play with Joel Embiid but their opponents have the early returning Ja Morant. Shake Milton came off the bench with 28 points while Tobias Harris contributed 21. Ben Simmons flirted with a triple-double having 11 points, 16 rebounds, and nine assists while also having seven turnovers. Tyrese Maxey had an off game but the team had vintage Dwight Howard doing 8 points, 18 rebounds, and three blocks. Everything was there except the end-game clutch.
