Oklahoma City’s depth was on full display, with six other players scoring in double figures. A dominant 42-19 second quarter gave the Thunder a commanding lead they never relinquished.
The Grizzlies, playing without star guard Ja Morant due to a shoulder injury, struggled to keep up despite 22 points from Desmond Bane.
Despite the loss though, Memphis remains firmly in the second spot in the West at 22-11, half a game ahead of Houston at no. 3.
