It’s hard to say how the comeback started. Maybe it was another big Shane Battier 3. He banged it in just before halftime, bringing the Grizzlies within 10. Or maybe it was the halftime break itself. Not a lot was said. “Sometimes, you just look at each other in the locker room and you know you’re doing yourself an injustice,” said Battier. So the Grizzlies resolved to fight harder, to play smarter, to finish the game the right way. The next thing you know, they were ripping off an 11-2 run. It was craziness, honestly. And that’s before Jerry Lawler hit a Thunder fan with a chair. OK, it was all a production staged by the Grizzlies entertainment crew. But it fit the spirit of the night.
