"Edgecombe, the 6-foot-4 guard out of Baylor, connected on a 25-foot jumper with 1.7 seconds left, capping a 25-point night, and giving Philadelphia a 139-136 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night."
""My teammates have faith in us to make a play, and that's what happened," Edgecombe said. "It's a big shot," Sixers coach Nick Nurse said. "Obviously, a game-winner for a rookie is pretty cool." Nurse has admired the poise of Edgecombe, who is averaging 15.5 points a game. "He's kind of like that all the time," Nurse said of the rookie guard. "I never see him show much emotion. I think it's an incredible quality. He just plays the game.""
