Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Tony Allen was determined to stop Rockets leading scorer Kevin Martin. He completely shut him down. Mike Conley scored 21 points, Rudy Gay added 20 points and eight rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies held Martin scoreless for the first time in six years in the Grizzlies' 93-83 victory over the Rockets on Tuesday night. Martin, who entered the game averaging 18.4 points per game this season and 25.8 in his career against the Grizzlies, played only 19 minutes. He was 0-for-3 shooting and limited to seven minutes in the second half. Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins credited his defensive stopper, Tony Allen, for making matters difficult for Martin from the outset. "He didn't get off to a quick start," Hollins said of Martin. "I thought Tony came out with the mindset that he was going to try to play him as hard as he could. Then the kid didn't make a couple of shots and things weren't going his way and they made a sub and played Courtney Lee."http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120214_HOU@MEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
