In their first road contest of the preseason, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 110-89 on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
The 76ers attacked the lane from the tip, scoring seven unanswered points early in the first quarter. The Grizzlies struggled to find a basket for the first three minutes of the contest, but Brandan Wright would set the tone, scoring six points on the perimeter and four at the rim in the half.
The teams battled through the first two quarters, and the Grizzlies led by one at halftime. The one-point deficit would be the closest the 76ers would come to regaining the lead, as the second half would be in complete control of the Grizzlies, leading by as much as 25 points nearing the end of the game.
