The 68-14 Oklahoma City Thunder is facing the 48-34 Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the play-offs.
After he went to the best record in the competition, the Thunder sees the first round as an opportunity to set the tone against a Memphis Grizzlies that has been pent by the back door.
Memphis has a lot of talent, there is no doubt about it. Between Ja Morant, years Jackson Jr. And Desmond Bane is enough to keep every series competitive.
The big question mark is where this team is after Taylor Jenkins was fired as head coach only three weeks ago. They make a very lively attempt in the first match of the play-in tournament against a strong Golden State Warroros team. That was followed by a dominant version against the Dallas Mavericks.
Perhaps this is a team with a new lease of life, but there is only one way to find out.
