The Oklahoma City Thunder triumphantly completed a first-round sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies, winning Game 4 by a mere two points, 117-115. The victory positions the Thunder as the first team to advance to the second playoff round. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with an impressive 38-point performance, showcasing why he is an MVP finalist. Jalen Williams also contributed significantly with 23 points. The Grizzlies, albeit shorthanded without Ja Morant due to a hip injury, gave a valiant effort but ultimately fell short.

The game highlighted the Thunder's dynamic offense, particularly in the second half, where they capitalized on Memphis's struggles. The absence of Morant was felt deeply as the Grizzlies struggled to maintain their competitive edge, especially in late-game scenarios where Gilgeous-Alexander proved decisive. Now, the Thunder await the winner of the Clippers vs. Nuggets series, enjoying a well-deserved rest as they prepare for what lies ahead.
