The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 88-84 last night. That gave the Grizzlies the series 4-1. Memphis will be in the Western Conference Finals for the 1st time in team history. DeAngelo Williams is beside himself with delight! During the game, a very odd 4 point play was awarded to OKC. Near the end of the 3rd period, Derek Fisher shot (and missed) a 3 point shot near the Memphis bench. Tony Allen was sitting on the bench and leapt to his feet during the play. In his excitement, he apparently forgot he was holding his warm-up shirt and inadvertently threw it onto the court. Fisher missed the shot, but complained to the ref about the shirt. The 3 point shot was allowed (some sort of basket interference call?) and Allen was given a technical foul. Fisher drained the free throw and the Thunder went on a 15-4 run after that. The Grizzlies held on to win.
The Heat sent the Bulls home in the East. They won game 5 94-91, taking the series 4-1. The Pacers and Knicks face off in game 5 of their series tonight. The Pacers lead 3-1. The Spurs and Warriors are headed to game 6 with San Antonio leading the series 3-2.
