Oklahoma City Thunder Faces Memphis Grizzlies in Game 2 Playoff Showdown

The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of their NBA playoff series, winning by 51 points with six players scoring in double figures and bench player Aaron Wiggins leading with 21 points. The Thunder’s defense stifled the Grizzlies, who struggled offensively and were held to under 20 points in three quarters. Despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s lowest scoring output of the season, Oklahoma City’s depth proved too much for Memphis, who now face a must-win situation in Game 2 to avoid a 2-0 series deficit before returning home. Both teams adjusted their starting lineups for Game 2 to better match up in the front court, particularly as the Thunder aim to maintain their momentum. The series shifts to Memphis for Game 3 after Tuesday's matchup at Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center. The game will be broadcast on multiple networks, including TNT and FanDuel Sports Network, with streaming options available for viewers.
