- Memphis had a shot to tie it. The Grizzlies trailed by as many as 18 and never led, but rookie Cameron Boozer got a look at a tying three with 6.9 seconds left. It missed, and Denver held on.
Should the Grizzlies have called timeout when Boozer obtained the rebound? Listen to the call from 92.9 FM ESPN/Grizzlies Radio Network:
- A 38-point third quarter got the Grizzlies back in it. Memphis trailed 65–52 at halftime and outscored Denver 38–29 in the third to make it 94–90 heading into the fourth.
