The Memphis Grizzlies put their top-3 defensive rating on display tonight. They shut the Thunder to 80 points. In addition, Russell Westbrook didn’t get a triple double. In fact, he didn’t even register an assist.
Westbrook’s off night and Victor Oladipo’s absence played a huge role in their loss. However, the Memphis Grizzlies were without Mike Conley. They weren’t supposed to contain Westbrook.
Well, they improved to an impressive 8-3 without their starting point guard.
Behind their strong play of the Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, the Memphis Grizzlies cruised the entire night. Gasol registered 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks.
