The Oklahoma City Thunder stunned the Memphis Grizzlies with a record-setting 131-80 victory in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs, showcasing their dominance after a week of rest. The Thunder capitalized on their home-court advantage, decisively outscoring Memphis 36-16 in the second quarter, fueled by an electrified crowd. Rookie center Zach Edey struggled in his playoff debut, contributing merely four points as OKC's defense overwhelmed him. Memphis's notorious turnover issues resurfaced, leading to 24 turnovers that OKC transformed into points. Aaron Wiggins' game-high 21 points and contributions from Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren highlighted the Thunder's depth and efficiency, setting a record for the largest playoff victory margin in Game 1 history.
