Tony Allen can't stop screaming his accomplishments
During Memphis' incredible Game 2 upset victory over Golden State, Tony Allen proved once again why he's arguably the best perimeter defender in the league.
He hounded Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, making their lives a total nightmare by always staying in front of them and always keeping a hand in their face. It was an incredible performance; arguably the best of his career.
Here's more from SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell:
"It's easy to chalk this up to a cold shooting game for Golden State -- as a team, it finished just 6-of-26 from deep -- but anyone watching sensed it was something much more than that. This was the Grizzlies getting back to their roots as they welcomed back Conley, with Allen as the braggadocious ringleader. In years past, we've seen Allen give Kevin Durant hell for a seven-game series even with a six-inch deficit in height and we've seen him act as a thorn in the Clippers' side. This was another game for his legend, a raw, unrelenting performance to halt what many assumed might be a sweep for Golden State."
Allen scored nine points and committed three turnovers in the game. It's tough to think of anyone being the best player on the floor with those numbers, but Allen was.
