The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to assert dominance in their playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies, securing a 131-80 victory in Game 1, the most lopsided score in NBA playoff history. Despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's off night with only 15 points, contributions from Jalen Williams, Aaron Wiggins, and Chet Holmgren helped propel the Thunder to victory, showcasing their depth and resilience.

The Grizzlies struggled significantly, with Ja Morant failing to find his rhythm at 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting, underscoring the challenges Memphis faces against a Thunder team that seems to be firing on all cylinders. The upcoming Game 2 presents a crucial opportunity for the Grizzlies to regroup, but they must overcome injuries to key players, including Brandon Clarke.
