PHILADELPHIA — No Joel Embiid, no problem.
The 76ers didn’t need the MVP candidate Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, even leading by 17 points in the first half. But the Grizzlies had too much firepower and fought back for a frenzied, back and forth game.
After the Grizzlies chipped away at their lead and forced an extra period, the Sixers eventually took a 122-119 overtime victory at the Wells Fargo Center.
