Impressive presentation from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led team crushed the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of the series.

The game practically ended in the second quarter. At halftime, OKC held a commanding lead of 32 points that quickly sealed the fate of the Grizzlies. From the third quarter onward, it was a formality, with the Thunder winning by 80-131.

There wasn't a standout MVP per se; instead, among the 5 OKC starters, they dismantled the Memphis defense:

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 15 points, 5 assists, and 2 blocks.
  • Luguentz Dort: 12 points, 3 steals, and 1 block.
  • Jalen Williams: 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.
  • Chet Holmgren: 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
  • Isaiah Hertenstein: 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Can anyone stop this team during the 2025 NBA Playoffs?
