MEMPHIS, Tenn. Drew Doughty Premier Jersey . -- Coach Lionel Hollins offered his Grizzlies just the antidote to any overconfidence they might be feeling after an amazing comeback victory from 16 points down. He showed them all they did wrong through the first three quarters. Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said Sunday their adrenaline is up after rallying for that 101-93 overtime victory Saturday and a 2-1 series lead in their Western Conference semifinal with the Thunder. They thought they were going to see clips of what they did right in the comeback. "It was the other way around," Allen said. "We saw a lot of film where we did things wrong, and I think that right there only just gives us fuel to the fire to come out this next game and ready to play." Hollins said he thinks his Grizzlies relaxed the defensive intensity they used in upsetting the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs in six games after opening this series with a win in Oklahoma City. He didnt see it until the fourth quarter Saturday. "We finally got back to the effort thats needed, the commitment and focus thats needed, and we raised our level of play," Hollins said. Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks took the same approach with his Thunder. But he spent about an hour picking apart the handful of minutes in the fourth quarter where they blew that lead with sloppy offence, possessions ruined by making only one pass before throwing up tough shots. "We just have to do a better job the last six or seven minutes of the game," Brooks said. The Thunder led 76-63 after three quarters and seemed in control before scoring only 10 points in the fourth quarter on 4 of 18 shots. Kevin Durant, the NBAs leading scorer this post-season averaging 31.6 points, was just 2 of 7, and Russell Westbrook hit only one of his six shots with three turnovers. "It wasnt all Russell," Brooks said. "It was some, so hes a part of it. It was Kevin, it was guys that were out there including myself. We have to do a better job making sure were all running every set, every offensive play with great energy." Durant was so upset by the loss he groaned and quietly uttered an expletive as he walked away from reporters Saturday night. He had taken only one shot from the free-throw line on a technical after being guarded by Allen most of the night or Shane Battier. With his mother and brother in town for the Mothers Day holiday, Durant was much more upbeat at the end of practice Sunday. He said everyone spoke up during the film session, and he expects no hangover for Game 4 on Monday night. "Were good on bounce-back games, and hopefully tomorrow is another case of that," Durant said. "Going through adversity is part of the playoffs, and we just have to push through it." The Thunder came into this post-season expecting a deep run behind the NBAs top scorer after taking the eventual NBA champion Lakers to six games in the opening series last year. The Grizzlies? Theyre two wins from NBA history as the first No. 8 seed to reach the Western Conference finals, and nobody outside their locker-room couldve expected this team to be in this position. Battier said he sure didnt expect this when he was swapped to Memphis at the trade deadline. Ah, the advantages of being a young and loose team. "Nobody thought wed be in this position up 2-1 in the second round, so I think were just enjoying it," Battier said. "Enjoy the ride, enjoying competing and we just want to play as long as we can." For the Grizzlies, that means being prepared to do what worked in that fourth quarter from the opening tip. The Thunder keep clogging the paint to ensure Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol have no space to catch the ball near the basket or grab offensive rebounds. So guards Mike Conley, O.J. Mayo and others must score from outside or use the pick and roll to open up lanes. Randolph finished with 21 points and a franchise playoff record 21 rebounds, but five of those came in overtime after Mayo hit two threes in the fourth quarter. "Theres been other teams that have done what Oklahoma City has done," Hollins said. "Weve just changed up and done something different and loosen them up. We did that last night. I told the perimeter people, Youre part of this team too, and youve got to do your job. Youve got to attack. ... We just cant walk the ball up and throw it in the post." The Grizzlies know how the Thunder feel because they blew a bunch of games a season ago when they had been up by double digits. This season, Memphis won nine games when trailing by 10 or more in the second half, which tied the Grizzlies with Chicago and behind only Utah (10) in that category. Conley said they know well how the Thunder are feeling right now. "We need to remember what we did to get back in that game, remember how we played and what we did in order to get in position to win," Conley said. "We cant afford to be down."

CANBERRA: A senior United Nations official condemned on Thursday Australias controversial intervention into remote Aboriginal communities, describing the measures as discriminatory and finding entrenched racism in Australia. The UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous People, James Anaya, made the findings after a 12-day visit to Australia, where he visited indigenous communities and held talks with the Australian government. Australias former conservative government sent police and troops to remote Aboriginal communities in June 2007, and made special bans on alcohol and pornography, to stamp out widespread child sex abuse fueled by chronic alcoholism.

Anaya, the first UN Rapporteur on Indigenous People to visit Aboriginal communities, congratulated Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for his 2008 parliamentary apology to Australias Aborigines for historical injustices. But he said it was clear the entrenched racism of the past remained, and the ongoing intervention into communities in the Northern Territoory continued to discriminate against Aborigines. Blake Griffin Jersey. LIFE EXPECTANCY GAP Rudd has made indigenous affairs a priority of his government and promised to end the 17-year gap in life expectancy between Aborigines and other Australians. Rudd has said he would continue the controversial intervention, which has widespread support across Australia but has been strongly criticized by some Aboriginal groups. Anayas comments will increase the pressure on Rudd to review parts of the intervention, particularly measures that quarantine welfare payments to make sure a proportion of the payments is spent on food, clothing and healthcare. An independent review last year found the intervention affected 45,500 Aboriginal men, women and children in more than 500 Northern Territory communities, and progress on healthcare and security were undermined by a lack of full community support. Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin said the government was determined to restore laws to outlaw racial discrimination in the Northern Territory and welcomed Anayas visit. I think whats important is that we recognize we have a huge task in front of us to close the gap, to close the life expectancy gap, the employment gap, the gap in education, Macklin told reporters. We know how big the task is and we certainly intend to keep getting on with it. Australias 460,000 Aborigines make up about 2 percent of the population. They suffer higher rates of unemployment, substance abuse and domestic violence than other Australians. Wholesale MLB Jerseys.
