"On perhaps the most important sequence of the night, the Grizzlies gave their grit and grind-starved fans a heavy dose.

Tony Allen sprung from the court and met Denver Nuggets forward Al Harrington at the apex of his shot attempt. Allen came up with an emphatic block and the Nuggets were assessed a 24-second, shot-clock violation late in the overtime period.

On the other end of the floor, Mike Conley chased down an offensive rebound and then Allen later extended the possession by also hitting the offensive glass. The basketball eventually found O.J. Mayo for a straight-away 3-pointer that gave the Griz a lead for the first time since late in the first period."
