The Thunder rode a big first half to a double-digit win over the struggling Grizzlies.
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 112-94, to record their 24th win of the season. Kevin Durant, widely expected to sit out tonight's game, was a surprise starter, making a quick recovery from the sprained toe he sustained two games ago against the Hornets. Despite Durant struggling from the floor in the first half, his presence on the court paid immediate dividends as the Thunder were able to capitalize on their star's presence. Coupled with the Grizzlies' shooting woes, the Thunder took a 20 point lead into halftime and scarcely had to look back.
