Chet Holmgren scored every 24 points except one in the second half while Oklahoma City Thunder joined a deficit of 29 points after Ja Morant left the match with a hip injury and beaten the Grizzlies of Memphis 114-108 Thursday evening for a 3-0 advance in the first round series.
Morant was injured with just over three minutes in the first half and Memphis leading 67-40. They obtained the next basket after its release and have always led by 26 points at halftime.
The return of 29 points was the second largest in a match in the NBA qualifiers since the game data per game began to be recorded during the 1996-97 season.
The only bigger: a return of 31 points by the Los Angeles clippers against Golden State on April 15, 2019.
The best classified Thunder, which won the match 1 131-80 in the fifth largest margin of victory in the history of the NBA in the playoffs, did not even have in advance in it until the fourth quarter. Now they can close the series on Saturday.
