The top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder completed a first-round sweep Sunday (PH time), outlasting the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies with a 117-115 win in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again shined for the Thunder, delivering 38 points, five rebounds, and six assists to lead his team to victory and a commanding 4-0 series win.

Jalen Williams provided crucial support with 23 points, helping Oklahoma City become the first team this postseason to advance to the second round, where they await the winner of the Los Angeles Clippers–Denver Nuggets series.
Playing without injured star Ja Morant — who hurt his hip during a heartbreaking Game 3 collapse — Memphis leaned on Scotty Pippen Jr., who turned in a standout performance with 30 points and 11 rebounds.
Despite Pippen’s heroics, the Grizzlies couldn't quite force a Game 5, capping a tough series for the injury-hit squad.
The Thunder, youthful yet poised, now shift their focus to a deeper playoff run, fueled by the momentum of a dominant opening series.
