Westbrook Goes Big on Memphis, can Grizz Answer back?


Game 4 belonged to the Oklahoma City Thunder as they came back from an 18-point deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies in a triple overtime comeback. Russell Westbrook led the way with 40 points, as Kevin Durant added 35, and James Harden added another 19 to help secure the win. Zach Randolph led the way for Memphis as he dropped 34 points, but failed to connect on his usual percentage of shots. Marc Gasol and O.J. Mayo both contributed offensively scoring 26 and 18 points respectively. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, they shot a poor 36 percent from the field, while the Thunder shot nearly 10 percent better. Game 5 is a must-win game for each team as both have shown to be almost evenly matched in every facet of the game. Kevin Durant feels confident in the Thunder and is proud of his teammates for staying with it and pulling the comeback. After the game Durant said, “We’ve got to keep fighting, though, it's tied up right now. We're taking it back to our house. So we'll see how we handle it." The Thunder didn’t take their first lead in the ballgame until the 5:16 mark in the third quarter after a Westbrook lay-up. Game 5 takes place in Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
