In the final three and a half minutes of Friday night's game in Memphis, the Oklahoma City Thunder outscored the Grizzlies 14-2, completing a 21-point comeback without reigning league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and standout center Chet Holmgren.
Granted the Grizzlies were missing star point guard Ja Morant — who is currently sidelined due to a right calf contusion andis reportedly on the trading block— but they still were in the driver's seat at home against a Thunder team that's looked more vulnerable over the last month.
In fact, with Oklahoma City's 117-116 triumph over Memphis, head coach Mark Daigneault's squad improved to just 8-6 in its past 14 games after starting the season 24-1.
But the Thunder (32-7) have the Grizzlies (16-22) figured out. They've won all three of the teams' matchups this season, first rallying from 19 points down on Nov. 9 and now pulling off an even more improbable come-from-behind victory on Friday.
