The Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies return to Chesapeake Energy Arena Tuesday night for a crucial Game 5 of their Western Conference quarterfinal matchup. Adidas Eqt Ale . The Thunder knotted the series with a 92-89 overtime victory in Memphis Saturday night. It was the third overtime contest during the four games of this series. "Now its tied up 2-2," OKC head coach Scott Brooks said. "That means that we have to play with the same type of intensity on both ends of the floor in front of our home crowd, which are the best fans in the league." The Grizzlies won Game 2 in Oklahoma City. On Saturday, the Thunders hero wasnt Kevin Durant, or Russell Westbrook. It wasnt even Serge Ibaka, rather top bench producer Reggie Jackson. Jackson scored a playoff career-best 32 points, including eight in overtime, to lead the Thunder. "We were struggling there in the fourth, and he just took it over," Durant said. "He was aggressive going to the rim all night. He just told himself before the game to be assertive. Defensively he was good. Offensively he attacked the defense and opened it up for everybody. We rolled all night. He made huge, huge plays and Im so proud of him." Durant had 15 points and 13 boards and Westbrook totaled 15 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, but the duo combined to shoot 11-of-45. Ibaka provided 12 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks for the second-seeded Thunder, who shot 36.7 percent. Marc Gasol had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Grizzlies, who had a chance to tie the game at the end but Mike Conley missed a 3-point shot. The seventh-seeded Grizzlies had a 15-game home winning streak broken. Conley had 14 points and 10 assists, and Tony Allen ended with 14 points and 13 rebounds in defeat. Zach Randolph was limited to 11 points for the Grizzlies, who made 37.2 percent from the floor. Memphis widened the gap to 80-75 following a Gasol jumper beyond the foul line with 1:20 left, but the Thunder scrapped to get the game to OT. Jackson drained a 3-ball with 59.2 seconds left, and Durant came up with a steal, which led to Jacksons floater in the lane to tie the game with 30.6 on the clock. It was a wild finish to regulation. Gasol missed a foul-line jumper, and Allen got the offensive rebound, but Ibaka came up with the block under the hoop. Jackson then got the loose ball and had plenty of time to dribble down the court, but shot early well beyond half-court and the ball went out of bounds as time expired. OKC used hustle plays to even this series with Jackson at the center of the effort. He dove for a loose ball on the floor with 1:08 left in OT. Durant then was fouled on a drive to the bucket and made two for an 88-87 edge for the Thunder with 62 seconds left. Conley missed high off the glass, but he came back with a big steal. Westbrook missed a jumper, got his own rebound and tried to dribble the ball back out, but Conley stole the ball and called timeout with 30.9 on the clock. Conleys jumper was then too strong and Jackson made two from the charity stripe with 12.2 seconds left. Conley then drove in for an uncontested layup with 3.8 seconds to go, but Jackson made two more foul shots less than a second later. "I thought the little plays made the difference," said Memphis coach Dave Joerger. "I thought we had great chances to pull out the win. They made enough plays." Game 6 is slated for Thursday night in Memphis.

Adidas Gazelle Tarjous . So far, so good: Gonzalez has allowed one run through 12 innings this season. His second start came Tuesday night, when he gave up only three singles over six innings to lead the Nationals to a 5-0 victory over the Miami Marlins. http://www.nmdhalvalla.com/adidas-nmd-r1-halvalla.html . "Im going to send Webbie a six-pack (of beer) tonight," she said. Webb wasnt sure that would help. "Ill probably drink one and go to sleep," the Australian veteran said. The two players set up a Sunday showdown between former HSBC champions after finishing off their third rounds with identical birdies over three of the last five holes Saturday to separate themselves slightly from the rest of the crowded leaderboard.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Second-year defensive end Damontre Moore is finally going to get a chance to show the New York Giants what he can do.It just may not be as a starter.The third-round pick is going to get extra playing time against Tennessee on Sunday because defensive ends Mathias Kiwanuka and Robert Ayers were placed on injured reserve earlier this week.Anytime an opportunity presented itself in the past, Ive taken advantage of it, Moore said Thursday after practice. Ive been waiting for it a long time. Im just waiting to step up. Ive been preparing a lot and then I had a lot of great veteran leadership that was in front of me within these past two years.It is uncertain whether Moore will start at left end for Mathias Kiwanuka (knee).With Jason Pierre-Paul starting on the right side that would give the Giants (3-9) two dynamic pass rushers and two playmakers. Moore, however, is not good against the run and that is a concern for defensive co-ordinator Perry Fewell.His other option would be to start tackle Cullen Jenkins at left end and have Moore be the main backup at both ends. The Giants are deep at the tackle spot.The problem is Jenkins has missed four of the last five games with a calf injury and he was limited at practice on Thursday.Fewell has been blunt talking about Moore. While general manager Jerry Reese has said that he wants to see Moore play more, Fewell has repeatedly said the athletic lineman has not been consistent at practice.When asked if Moore was ready to be an every-down lineman, Fewell said no.Wed like for him to play the run stouter than he plays it right now, but I think that hell be in a rotation, he said. He wont be an every down defender for us.Fewell said the 256-pound Moore needs to get stronger and be more disciplined.Moore said its obvious he is a better past rusher at this point.

Ive had two years to get bigger, stronger and faster and just hone my skills and just take advice from Jason Pierre-Paul, who is such a great mentor, Moore said. Honestly, like I said, Im just ready to go out there and prove to everybody that I can do it.Moore acknowledged that he has been not had the best practice habits.I think thats one of those things that I internally have to fight with, he said. Being a young guy and being so accustomed to coming in, playing early as a true freshman in college, I felt like something was supposed to be given me, which, at this level, nothings going to be given to you. I feel the same type of way and thats my fault. I prolonged that process.Moore has one advantage this weekend. The former Texas A&M product played against Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger in a game against LSU.Hes going to compete and hes going to talk trash, Moore said. Thats one of those quarterbacks that I like to play against.NOTES: RB Rashad Jennings (ankle) missed his second straight practice, so expect rookie Andre Williams to see more action. If Jennings cant play, recently signed Orleans Darkwa would be the No. 2 back. He has been limited to special teams that last three weeks. ...LB Jacquian Williams (concussion) also didnt practice Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. With Williams and Mark Herzlich (concussion) not practicing, the Giants have only three tested linebackers Spencer Paysinger, Jameel McClain and Devon Kennard. Fewell plans to use his safeties more to compensate. ...Special teams co-ordinator Tom Quinn will have to wear a boot for 4-to-6 weeks after tearing a calf muscle on Sunday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
