The Oklahoma City Thunder just handed the Memphis Grizzlies one of the worst beatdowns in NBA playoff history—fifth-largest margin of victory ever. So what does it mean for OKC’s playoff future?
In this segment of Missing the Point, we break down the Thunder’s complete domination, why the Grizzlies were never a real threat, and whether we underestimated Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and this well-balanced, dangerous Thunder squad.
