Grimes helped the 76ers close things out in the fourth quarter with 11 points, nine of which came from beyond the arc. His five three-pointers led the 76ers, and it was the most threes he has made in a game since Dec. 5 against the Bucks (six). Grimes has played 38 minutes off the bench in back-to-back games and saw an extended run during Thursday's game after Dominick Barlow fouled out in the fourth quarter.
