Memphis pulled within two early in the final stanza before Philadelphia rolled off 13 straight points and increased its lead to 88-73 on a 3-pointer by Royal Ivey with 7:51 left. The Grizzlies cut their deficit to seven with just over four minutes to go but Wright’s fifth and final 3-pointer of the contest made it 95-84 with 3:15 remaining.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Philadelphia went 9-of-16 from 3-point range. … Grizzlies PG Mike Conley scored 10 points but was just 3-of-17 from the field. … Wright started for the first time since Nov. 10 because Jason Richardson was scratched due to back issues.
