OKC Thunder Sweep Memphis Grizzlies With Game 4 Win

The Oklahoma City Thunder completed the sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday with a 117-115 Game 4 win.

Despite being without their start player in Ja Morant, the Grizzlies put up a tremendous effort and fought to the end to keep their season alive against the top team in the league.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returned to his normal form in Game 4, leading the way for OKC with 38 points, six assists and five rebounds.

OKC was in control for the majority of the game, but the Grizzlies kept it close throughout and nearly completed the comeback. The Thunder started the final frame with a 14-7 run and held on to that lead for the rest of the battle.

Grizzlies guard Scottie Pippen Jr. had a breakout game with 30 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. Memphis big man Zach Edey put up eight points, eight rebounds and seven blocks before fouling out.

The Grizzlies had a tumultuous spring, firing their head coach before the playoffs and dealing with various injuries and suspensions for Ja Morant.

The Thunder will now face the winner of the Nugget-Clippers first-round series.
