Thunder's Big Three lead OKC to commanding Game 2 win over Grizzlies

SGA put up 27 points despite a second straight poor shooting night (10-of-29) as the Thunder beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 118-99. The 22-year-old Holmgren scored 20 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked five shots, denying the Grizzlies even some seemingly guaranteed buckets.

Williams had an efficient 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting, following a 20-point performance in Game 1. Just as in Game 1, Williams continued to burnish his reputation as one of the NBA's best in-game dunkers.

It's very much like the trio's new NBA commercial, where they all star, and they all wear matching outfits.

The Grizzlies played the Thunder more closely than Sunday's Game 1 blowout, but still trailed by 18 points at halftime. Jaren Jackson Jr. (26 points) cut the Thunder's lead to single digits at the end of the the third quarter and gave Memphis some faint hope. Then the Thunder held the Grizzlies scoreless for nearly five minutes.

A lineup featuring Williams, Isaiah Hartenstein and three bench players started the fourth quarter on a 9-0 run that expanded to a 14-2 run. When Holmgren scored on an alley-oop, the game was effectively over with five minutes to go.

What's scary for the Grizzlies is that SGA isn't shooting accurately and the Thunder didn't shoot well from three-point range — 10-of-31 — and they still won by 19. Maybe returning to Memphis for Game 3 will help the Grizzlies, but home-court advantage usually isn't worth 20 points. Especially against OKC's Big Three.
