OKC Thunder finish home stand versus the Memphis Grizzlies: preview

For the second time in eight days the OKC Thunder host the Memphis Grizzlies. Gameday breaks down the keys to winning.

It’s unlikely anyone forgets the last time the OKC Thunder played the Memphis Grizzlies. Partly because the game occurred not long ago but also because the team fell behind by 24 points only to rally back and take the game by four points. This was just two nights after trailing by 26 points to the Chicago Bulls before coming back to win by three points.

After these two games, the rest of the homestand was remarkably easy. The Thunder handled the Phoenix Suns before they then took down an LA Clippers squad who were without Kawhi Leonard and Patrick Beverley.

This Thunder team is on a roll right now. Not only have they won their last four home games, but they have also won 10 of the last 14 games which has put them back over .500 for the first time this season.

The Grizzlies, on the other hand, have gone 1-3 in the last four games, including the game against the OKC Thunder. The comeback executed by the Thunder seems to have taken some of the momentum out of the Grizzlies season.

However, Ja Morant has still been playing incredible ball. The November rookie of the month almost broke the internet when he rose above Kevin Love. He missed the dunk but I will let you look at it yourself if you have not already seen it.

To put it simply, the kid is something special and as a basketball fan, I cannot wait to see what he does in the league when his game matures. This brings us to our keys to the game.
