#1 Marc Gasol's deplorable shooting from the field

Marc Gasol shot 2-5 from the three-point line.
Marc Gasol shot 2-5 from the three-point line.

The Spaniard has been the go-to man for the Grizzlies franchise for a long time, but unfortunately, he didn't show up like he was supposed to. He averages 15 ppg and 8 rpg against Philadelphia but could afford only 12 points this time, which was his lowest score for the past five games.

Gasol has been averaging 22 points & 10 rebounds per game for the previous 10 matchups, but none of that was visible when the Grizz visited Philly. The Sixers restricted him to just 4 rebounds and pestered him enough to end up with a forgettable 4-14(28.5%) shooting from the night.

Though JoJo had an average night offensively, he did a stellar job of keeping Marc Gasol in check. Gasol's teammates couldn't bail him out either, as Conley's team-high 21 points proved to be in vain with the Sixers pounding them in every aspect of the game.
