The Thunder powered their way to the top of the Western Conference, finishing the regular season with a dominant 68-14 record — a mark only six other teams in NBA history have reached. In the first round of the playoffs, they will take on No. 8 seeds Grizzlies.
If Oklahoma City were relentless, Memphis were a team in turmoil. After a mid-season 13-18 slump and axing of head coach Taylor Jenkins late in March, the Grizzlies made it to the play-in tournament. They defeated the Mavericks 120-106 on Friday to make it to the playoffs.
The Thunder will be looking to continue their dominance in the Playoffs. After all, of the six teams who have notched up 68 wins, four have marched on to the title.
The odds are stacked against the Grizzlies -- the last time they won in a series against Oklahoma City was in December 2022. The Thunder also secured a series sweep over Memphis this season, with an average margin of 18.8. But Memphis is living dangerously, and with another match-saving performance against Dallas, Ja Morant continues to defy.
