The Sixers held a brief lead in the first quarter until Jeff Green kicked off a 12-2 run for Memphis with a three-point play. Tony Allen capped the spurt to give the Grizzlies a 20-15 lead.

Memphis led by six after the first quarter, then it opened the second on a 13-5 run to stretch the margin to 40-26.

"Memphis was Memphis in the second period," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "(The Grizzlies) are men. They are physical."

Philadelphia was within striking distance minutes later, but the hosts doubled up the Sixers 14-7 over the final 4:20 of the half to grab a 60-41 lead at the break.
