OKC Thunder: Big or small, Thunder played 'beautiful' ball in rout of Memphis

In the midst of the Thunder's total takeover in Memphis on Tuesday, you may have missed the contributions of Steven Adams and Andre Roberson.

The oversight was bound to happen. In the Thunder's most convincing win of the season — a 37-point rout of the Grizzlies — the runaway stretch came with the two Thunder starters on the bench in the second quarter while OKC played small ball.

Kevin Durant's efficient shooting display and Russell Westbrook-Serge Ibaka pick-and-roll combo was at the heart of the matter. The game really got out of hand, however, with Adams and Roberson on the floor with their fellow starters during the third quarter.
