Joel Embiid's dominant performance helps Philadelphia 76ers secure a comfortable victory against Memphis Grizzlies.
Embiid was 9 of 13 from the floor, making both of his 3-point attempts. He checked out with seven minutes left in the third quarter and coach
added 15 for Memphis, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Maozinha Pereira had 13 points and 11 rebounds. Philadelphia outscored Memphis 34-19 in the second quarter and the Grizzlies could make little headway to start the second half, never cutting the deficit into single digits. The pieces the Grizzlies had cobbled together didn't have the offensive firepower, and they still trailed by 86-70 after the third.
