The Grizzlies overcame a 10-point deficit late in the third period to win for the seventh time in nine games.

Memphis was clinging to a one-point lead when Allen went to the line and his foul shots were the last points of the game. The Grizzlies, however, had to sweat out a 3-point attempt from Brandon Jennings that failed to go as the buzzer sounded.

Mike Conley scored 23 points with eight assists and five rebounds for Memphis. Sam Young added 19 points and Rudy Gay had 14.

Milwaukee got 22 points from Corey Maggette. The Bucks have dropped six out of seven.
