The Oklahoma City Thunder grabbed a commanding lead of their first round series with the Memphis Grizzlies. Up 2-0 in the series, the OKC Thunder followed its formula for playoff success. It was Jalen Williams who led the OKC Thunder on a backbreaking run in the forth, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stepped up after the Grizzlies cut it to eight, Chet Holmgren looks way more comfortable. Alex Caruso showed why he was a difference-maker. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are great developmental stories. The Thunder's defense is elite and will translate. Mark Daigneault's rotation will likely look similarly moving forward in the NBA Playoffs with minor tweaks. Lu Dort suffocates Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. "Bounces back" and what makes this Thunder defense such a BAD Matchup for Memphis.
