The Thunder beat the Grizzlies 125-88 in Memphis on Tuesday night. Here are five observations:
1. Potency remains -- Just like it would've been silly to overreact to a string of recent poor performances, you can't oversell the Thunder's 37-point blowout of the Grizzlies in Memphis on Tuesday night. The losses have been worrying. The Tuesday night shredding was encouraging -- it showed what kind of potency remains in OKC's tank. But consistency stands as the difficult-to-attain key. On to the win.
2. Small lineup overwhelms -- Tuesday night may have been our best indication that the Thunder's dangerous small-ball group will remain an every night staple.
