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, came off the bench in the first quarter. ... Jodie Meeks remained out recovering from a right foot injury. ...

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.

PETERSBURG, Fla. BRASILIA, Brazil -- The last thing Brazils mens soccer team needed in its first game at the Olympics was to leave the field without a win and jeered by fans.The disappointing 0-0 draw against 10-man South Africa prompted loud boos from the crowd and renewed fears of another embarrassment at home just two years after a humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup semifinals.Thursdays result in Brasilia heaped pressure on a young team that has the task of helping the nation regain lost pride by winning its first Olympic gold medal in football. The Olympic gold is the only trophy the five-time World Cup champions havent won.The pressure has always been there, coach Rogerio Micale said. We cant be affected by a result like this early in the competition. We have to recover as fast as possible because we still have two important games ahead.Demands are high on Brazils Olympic team because it is led by Neymar and some of the countrys most promising players, including forwards Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol. The team arrived as the main favorite to win the gold in a tournament with very few stars.Only victory will be enough for the demanding home fans, who still vividly recall the humiliating loss to Germany. Most recently Brazil was embarrassed at the Copa America when it failed to advance past the group stage of the continental competition.Neymar skipped the Copa America to try to hellp Brazil win Olympic gold, but he was far from his best as Brazil struggled against South Africa.dddddddddddd He failed with his few scoring chances and was visibly frustrated. Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol also werent able to capitalize on their opportunities.Gabriel Jesus, who two days ago reached a multimillion-dollar deal to transfer from Brazilian club Palmeiras to Manchester City, missed an open goal in the games biggest chance. The 19-year-old striker said he was ashamed and wouldnt sleep at night because of the miss.Its not because of one move that you should feel dejected like that, Neymar said. Sometimes the ball wont go in, but thats not going to happen all the time. Its part of the game. You have to keep your head high and move on.Brazil plays Iraq on Sunday, when every new miss is likely to draw more jeers from the nearly 60,000 fans expected to pack the Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.We need the support from the fans, thats important for our players, Micale said. Nobody likes to start the competition like we did, without playing the way everybody expected us to play, but we know we can improve and we will recover.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.
