The Oklahoma City Thunder showcased a commanding performance in Game 1, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 131-80, marking a historic playoff victory. Head coach Mark Daigneault, along with players Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins, discussed the team's preparation for Game 2, anticipating a competitive response from the Grizzlies. A notable topic addressed was Lu Dort's absence from the Defensive Player of the Year finalist list, despite the Thunder's advocacy for his nomination.

Hartenstein humorously suggested starting a podcast to generate buzz around Dort's recognition. As the Thunder gear up for the next game, the focus remains on maintaining their momentum and adjusting their strategy to counter the Grizzlies' expected improvements.
