MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Marc Gasol made the winning free throws, but Tony Allens defense made the difference down the stretch.Thats his job, Gasol said. Thats what he does, and hes really good at it.Gasol scored 25 points, including a pair of free throws with 12.2 seconds remaining to give the Memphis Grizzlies a 95-94 victory over the Orlando Magic on Thursday night.Gasols free throws completed a 14-point comeback in the fourth quarter as the short-handed Grizzlies snapped a two-game losing streak.Though Gasol carried the offense, both coaches pointed to Allens defense as the reason for a 13-0 Memphis run that brought the Grizzlies back into the game.He just took over that game defensively, Memphis coach David Fizdale said.Added Magic coach Frank Vogel: Credit his energy. He just made a lot of hustle plays that turned the game around.After Gasols free throws gave Memphis its first lead since early in the second half, Orlando still had a chance to win the game. But JaMychal Green stole the ball from Elfrid Payton near the top of the key. The ball ended up in Gasols hands as time ran out.Troy Daniels finished with 19 points for the short-handed Grizzlies, who dressed nine players due to injuries. Andrew Harrison had 11 points and eight assists.Evan Fournier led the Magic with 28 points, while Nikola Vucevic had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Jeff Green scored 12 of his 14 points early in the fourth as Orlando built its lead.JaMychal Greens steal from Payton was his second in the fourth quarter. Allen also had a pair and disrupted the Orlando offense.That one hurts. Hurts bad, Fournier said. They just played more aggressive than us in the final 5 minutes.And Fournier didnt leave out Allen as the reason either.Tony Allen changed the game by just being more aggressive, getting in the passing lane and getting more deflections, the Magic guard said.TIP-INSMagic: Payton, listed as questionable with a right ankle sprain, camee off the bench in the first quarter.dddddddddddd... Jodie Meeks remained out recovering from a right foot injury. ...

Memphis has won nine straight home games against Orlando. The Magic have not won at FedExForum since a 112-85 defeat on Jan. 23, 2008. ... Memphis is now 5-0 on the second night of back-to-backs.TRIAGE UNITThe Grizzlies remained short-handed based on injuries and personal leave. Memphis dressed only nine players as it did in Wednesday nights loss in Toronto. Among the injured: G Mike Conley, F Vince Carter, F James Ennis, F Chandler Parsons and F/C Brandan Wright. Also, F Zach Randolph is not with the team due to the death of his mother last week.

The last game without a 3-pointer was March 14, 2007.DOUBLE-DOUBLE, BUT NOT ENOUGHVucevic recorded his 10th double-double of the season and almost put a dagger in the Grizzlies comeback hopes.
