Kidd-Gilchrist and Robinson collide.... Michael is down and it could be serious. We are down 6-5 early in the game.

Cowen with some great plays but also some very sloppy plays to keep the Grizzlies in it. We are tied at 21 at the end of 1. Cowen with 3 turnovers. He needs to clean that up. We rested all of our other starters for the last 4 minutes of the quarter.

8:00 - Cowen is tired and we try a creative lineup with Turner at PG, GF at SG, Robinson at SF, Perkins at PF, and Noel at C. We are tied at 27.

4:15- Noel into foul trouble. Embiid into the game for him. We lead 36-34.

Our offense just isn't clicking today (I slightly altered sliders to decrease FG% a few games ago) and we are down 41-40 at the half. We are actually shooting 48% but our turnovers are killing us.

Cowen leads us with 9 points and 4 assists.

Cowen with a nice 3rd quarter and we build a 60-52 lead before he needs rest.

Noel fouls out midway through the 3rd. That will hurt us down the stretch.

Turner with some bad choices and they get some fast break points. Down 73-71 at the end of 3.

Cowen comes back in the 4th but he is having an off night and the guys around him are missing shots. Too many turnovers too.

Back and forth 4th quarter as our offense finally heats up and we close the gap. We take a 94-93 lead with 2 minutes to go.

Embiid is tired and misses a few easy shots but Cowen and Clark help us get a 97-96 lead with 20 seconds left.

8 seconds left: Conley gets into the lane and hits a floater to give them the lead.

With a second left, Cowen drives into the lane... shoots... it is a bit long.

Surprising loss, 98-97.

Cowen with 19 points, 15 assists, 4 boards, and 8 turnovers. Way too many turnovers. He shot 8 of 18.

Robinson with 20 points, 8 boards, 2 steals, and a block. He shot 9 of 16.

Embiid with 12 points, 12 boards, and a block. He shot 5 of 12.

Clark with 12 points but he was -2 in 17 minutes.

Perkins with 11 points, 3 boards, 1 assist, and 1 block.

Turner with 9 points, 4 boards, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

GF with 4 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals.


Mirotic led the Grizzlies with 24 points and 7 boards.

Conley with 17 points and 4 assists.

Ugh. Hate to give that one way.
