The OKC Thunder handle the Memphis Grizzlies with ease after the first quarter. Turns out, it’s harder to win games when you’re down a star player in Marc Gasol, who was traded to the Toronto Raptors just hours before the game began. This left Memphis with a flimsy 8-man roster for the night, and the results were as expected.
In many ways, it was a game of two halves. The first half was riddled with 3-point after 3-point attempt, which is usually not something we see from this team. To make things worse, most of them didn’t go in.
