The Philadelphia 76ers pulled off an impressive 110-105 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.
Ja Morant and Co. led comfortably for most of the evening after getting off to a hot start in the first quarter. Philly chipped away at the lead slowly, but it didn’t seem like they would ultimately have enough time to finish the drill.
With a little under four minutes remaining in the game and his team down 99-95, Tobias Harris got the ball in the corner and drained a three. Just like that, it was suddenly 99-98 and anyone’s outing.
Understandably, Philly fans were feeling it – including one in particular.
TOBIAS. ONE-POINT GAME.

If it feels like random women have been becoming stars at 76ers games, it’s because they have been. That wild Sixers cheerleader video from a few weeks back also had a similar effect.
And in some ways this is a league-wide phenomenon. LeBron James’ encounter with a New Orleans Pelicans fan in early February also caused something of a stir.
Now we know what they do in their private time. https://t.co/3gQvus079N

Fun courtside antics aside, Philly badly needed that win. The team has now won five straight games and sits third in the Eastern Conference.
Just three games separate the 76ers from the first-place Boston Celtics.
Will Joel Embiid, James Harden and the Sixers be able to take control of the East in the second half of the NBA season? Time will tell.
