OKC Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies | Game Highlights | March 10, 2024
H that W as well and an Aon pass that one from Canard thought that a teammate was going to be there get trying to pick up pace us his physicality low as the shoulder then the scoop and score plus the foul that’s what you like about this
Kid he just keeps coming in there as driving to settle for the shot it goes in first points for Memphis team that really struggles to score there’s a power move inside off the pass from gidy as washes it down Josh gide out to a strong start in this game already Five
Points two assists and two rebounds man he is punishing the Grizzlies right now in that painted area and there’s a turnover three on one gy behind the defense and he’s able to slip it up and in as he himself has outscored Memphis in this first quarter bounce on that three-point line
Wallace with speed outside SDA keeps it going a Thunder lighten it up from downtown here in this first quarter got to make that shot from back there too though as everybody is just chipping in right in a good spot here Shay again on Stevens series of ball fakes tough shot
On the Baseline but he shows the touch 71 from downtown and Gabriel’s first shot as he comes in the game to start the second quarter that is off yet he fires into T wall it’s cutting right to the rack and he puts it down see right here D my goodness just not
Allowing the gz to to really set up any kind of Defense off that ww from Wallace waiting for something to develop and it’s a one footed step back just watch Josh K that’s his patented move it’s not his patented move j on the step back and the Rabia leaks out behind the
Defense but Cas Wallace tracked him down put it up on the backboard and K Wallace timed it up that is that is perfect timing Prim defensive weapon and that’s a very good defensive weapon to have I was not good at taking charges I’m just going to tell
You that now J makes a j excuse me makes a tough drive to the basket you can kind of see it on this drive he banged with Jameson and then cuz you got to leave your man at the right time and take that charge so much anticipation there’s ched
Hren coming over and spiking it out of bounds Stevens rumbling down the lane gives it up to Jameson he fumbled the pass and it’s a Memphis turnover job of packing all those dark curet jerseys in the paint oh there’s a beautiful pass there and a wigg set it up in stride Don
Nson used to say there’s nothing more inspiring sometimes than when a big man is is running and speeding his way down the floor that’s right if he’s running the floor like that man you know get in the basketball and the th did a great job and look at that smile
It’s playing some good basketball right Now Shay wants to step back three oh how does he do it that was pretty drills one from Deep look at the footwork here step back to get away from a Defender create some space and hit the center of the rim knows that he wants to bleed this clock
Out as much as possible sees a quick double team Wheels around somebody’s got to be open it’s dark going to let it fly and he continues the theme of the first half another three what we saw a season ago when they led the NBA in points in
The paint they’re dead last this year but they take the fifth most threes in the NBA that’s how they get their points and there is Ted hren getting two points as he pumps in that slam how about this overc commit goes all right to the basket that’s a great job of just
Getting around Jackson like the fourth play the Thunder been able to fall into a possession see if this here will be four for four where they get a score oh nice drive and kick and once again it’s Chen hogen Rocking The Rim the lead swells
The first six to the Thunder here in the third quarter quick timeout for Memphis it’s just one of those plays you play back in practice tomorrow so this is the kind of hustle excitement it’s got the Thunder where they are right now I mean a guy
Sacrifices his body on a night to night basis covered for his teammates and my goodness you do see the thread of the needle he does a great job of collapsing the pocket and you said Ted hren Relentless at The Rim there’s one block almost two blocks as he thought it was
Clean on the second effort on Jackson Jr wow now I thought this this was a this is a great block now look at the second one here he’s just do come on what are you doing that’s a block and they’ve been more aw of the shooters which is
What David David O talked about with Paris Lawson at halftime as well they just keep flying SCA is just being the bus driver he’s taking everybody to school Shay up under that is just impossible to defend just took Al to the cleaners to go by not clear up above this is why
He’s one of the game’s most lethal scores because he’s got so many Tools in his tool bag once he that drible how do you defend that I just like you know how do you do it because everything looks different to me this is fake that
Time isaah Joe giving you a cup of joe at the rim and the thing that stood out to me is the counter to the counters because he’s starting to see so many different defenses he’s at the top of the Scouting Report L dor should be at the top of the defensive scouting report
And it’s Shay’s defense forcing a little little pressure there little incision and that’s what the result is well it started with the pressure now you see in the back end right there folks but Shay was pressuring the ball handler into a two-way Force both offensively and defensively number two net rated team in
The NBA Isaiah Joe tough take hanging in the air long enough and able to score just thoroughly dominated by the fr on both ends of the floor Wiggins nice Cut kri Williams steing right by the defense officials Let It Go kenri not giv up any space whatsoever
Gordon Hayward going to send it up to Wiggins and Wiggins is going to take it hard and throw it down right at the rack now he’s timing his jump with him he says I’m going to block the shot and yeah okay not this time the bch know that that’s a terrific
Play against Jen Jackson Jr Thunder show no signs are slowing down Hayward using a little size the kick out kenri and the threes just cannot be stopped in this game 11 points at halftime and Wiggins had it Stripped Away by zero it’ll bounce and Wiggins
Not going to give up any ground on the drive and transition from this Thunder team even with this big lead it’s a 32-point lead but if you have the mindset for all the issues this is a team that back to- back Seasons with 50 wins the two SE played really well Gordon
Hayward you played 15 minutes and this is your first shot that’s beautiful play tack on another Victory the Thunder been so good at home the ninth consecutive victory for the thunder in this building they got the second best home record in the NBA 26-6 and this one was
Thorough this is what you want to see against a depleted team like the Memphis Grizzlies Jay certainly did his part but he didn’t need to do everything tonight you got 22 from KAS Wallace double double from Josh [Applause] Giddy and a two-way effort all around for the Thunder picking up Victory
Number 45 on the season and Nick is standing by with the rookie KAS Wallace and maybe more thanks Chris K before the game you told me you guys needed to have a first team ready mindset how did you display that from the very outset uh I
Feel like we was on the gas from the whole 48 just starting the game all strong whe making shots early in the game and it just open the basket up for us Yeah you mentioned making shots a ton of assists 36 tell me about the ball
Movement to create it it was great we knew that we had to penetrate and and spray the ball out and you know we stick to our game plan pretty well and we got the good outcome how about a career high 22 for you what helped you be your best
You tonight it feels good just knowing that I was making shots the teammates you know they will supporting me and finding me with my open spots and as a rookie you played in every game this season how have these guys helped you through that uh it’s great just having

Such a good first half by Giddey.
Oh, we’re going places.
I watch every Thunder highlights because mostly I don't get to watch it live
Hope Jdubs ok ⚡️🙏 #Thunderup
⚡️
I'm a NW guy so been keeping track of OKC since leaving Seattle and have to say…..This team is FRAKING GOOD🤯
Love this team, so don't take my question the wrong way, but I've noticed the travel rules not just being ignored, but perhaps changed? 2 steps after the bounce permitted, and you see 3 commonly, sometimes 4, but two steps, stop, pivot, duck, weave, and THEN shoot? Not how I remember it… See 5:12 as an example.
On quite a separate note, it's so good to see these fellas play with so much joy – J-Will, especially!
Im loving these blocks from Chet. Idc about the foul calls. Make em work for it bro. 🥵
Lu Dort was lethal. 🙌
Heal up J Dub. 🙏
I swear SGA and Dort could rob a bank. JK 😂 5:46
Wiggins 🙌
Every interview has some dog calls I swear 😅
Chet needs to do that one leg fadeaway more often
Giddey ❤
