THE Philadelphia 76ers surrendered a 21-point lead in the second half before losing 99-94 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.
The 76ers were up by 16 heading into the fourth quarter but committed 11 turnovers in the final period and were outscored 42-21.
"It was one of those games where we kept playing and kept battling," said Grizzlies Zach Randolph. "We knew we had to find energy somewhere, and the bench really came through for us. They kept us in the game and gave us the chance that we needed."
Randolph capped an 11-0 Memphis run with a layup and a foul with 1:45 left to give the Grizzlies their first lead since the second quarter.
He keyed the comeback in the fourth quarter scoring nine points and hitting on all seven free throw attempts, including six in the final nine seconds to secure the win.
"It was the turnovers. I think in one stretch our big guys had seven turnovers in the fourth quarter early," said 76ers coach Doug Collins.
"The ball was just going through their hands, trying to pass balls where there was nobody there. We were not even getting shots to the basket."
Randolph finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds.
"We had complete control of the game," Collins said. "They went with their second unit, went to a zone, and we just went dead."
Jodie Meeks and Jrue Holiday led the 76ers with 16 points each, and combined for nine three pointers on 12 attempts.
Elton Brand scored 15 points.
In Chicago, Derrick Rose scored 22 points despite two painful stomach ulcers, leading the Bulls to a 99-90 win over the Orlando Magic.
Elsewhere in NBA, it was: Suns 88, Celtics 71; Hawks 111, Knicks 102; Heat 88, Pistons 87; Kings 100, Lakers 95; Thunder 124, Wizards 117, OT; Bobcats 121, Warriors 113, OT; Jazz 108, Timberwolves 100; Nuggets 117, Cavaliers 103; Pacers 124, Nets 92; and Bucks 116, Raptors 110, OT.
