San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies
7:30 PM ET, April 23, 2011
FedExForum, Memphis, TN
Grizzlies guard Tony Allen says the sellout crowd Saturday night can expect Memphis' FedExForum to be turned into the Grindhouse.
The series is tied with top-seeded San Antonio, and Allen says the plan is to make the Spurs work for everything they get in Game 3.
"I like how the referees have been calling the games the last two games," Allen said after practice Friday. "They've been letting us actually go out and you know play backyard basketball. Surprised me, but I love it, so it could be a physical game again. I'm looking forward to joining in."
Allen defines backyard basketball as pulling, grabbing and scratching. He can point to his left forearm where someone's nail dug into his flesh.
Fans are hoping to see the Grizzlies add to their first postseason win with their first playoff victory at home. Allen said the Grizzlies must focus on correcting their mistakes and getting the loose balls they missed in Wednesday night's loss 93-87 in San Antonio. That includes doing a better job keeping Spurs guard Manu Ginobili off the free throw line.
