The Oklahoma City Thunder achieved a remarkable comeback against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 of their playoff series, erasing a 29-point deficit to secure a 114-108 victory. This comeback marks the second largest in NBA playoff history, showcasing the Thunder's resilience and skill, particularly in the second half.

Chet Holmgren was pivotal in this turnaround, scoring 16 of his 23 points during a dominant third quarter, which included hitting three three-pointers in quick succession. His ability to exploit defensive mismatches proved crucial as the Thunder capitalized on missed opportunities from the Grizzlies after Ja Morant's injury.

Alex Caruso's defensive prowess also shined through as he contributed with key steals and assists, further cementing his role as a vital addition for the Thunder. Though Morant's absence affected Memphis's performance, Oklahoma City's second-half execution demonstrated why they are the top seed in the West.
