What were the highlights of the Thunder vs. Grizzlies game?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, the Thunder dominate the Grizz again. We got Shakia Taylor on the Pacers' big win and John Krasinski on the Wolves' loss to the Lakers and how they bounce back. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena.
Good morning, Dave.
Just wait again. How you doing? I'm doing great. Another fun night of playoff action. And I do believe we officially have the first dominant 2-0 series lead since the Grizzlies have lost by a combined 70 points. in their two games against the Thunder. Thunder win last night, 118-99. And, Zena, there's not a lot that I have to say that I haven't already said about the Grizzlies over the last couple weeks. They're not really very good right now. They're not very connected. Jaron Jackson, you don't really feel him in a lot of games. Zach Eady basically can't play. I sound like a broken record. You got any thoughts on a Thunder win over the Grizzlies?
Yeah, I think the same could be said kind of about Oklahoma City, right? Like there's not much more new to say about this team. They've been dominant all season. They've been playing as a team all season. But I think even watching this game and how they close it out, because let's give credit where credit's due. Memphis did play better. But if you listen to Jalen Williams in his postgame interview, he said that they expected as in the Thunder, expected the Grizzlies to come back. They were a good team. The first game is after a 36 hour stint. So they knew that they were going to have a better shot at that second game. And the way that they closed it out in game two, OKC did not give Memphis any slack.
They played all the way to the end. Chet Holmgren, Shea Gill, just like they were all in the game to the final buzzer. And it just shows you just how hungry this team is. And I think that that's a stat. That's an analytical aspect that you can't quantify is just how much they want it. And so if there's anything to add on top of OKC and what you've already seen all season, they're just on a different level of connected and hungry.
Yeah, Alex Caruso had a great game off the bench for them. So that's, you know, again, it's another tool in their toolbox that's, you know, a knife in their knife case that's sharp, right? Like Alex Caruso needed this big game, in my opinion. And I mean, again, Thunder are a machine. So we're probably not going to learn too much about the Thunder for the rest of this series. But there were other games last night, so we should hit those. And we're going to go deep on both of these other games. Yeah. We have Shaquille Taylor, who is covering the Pacers during the playoffs. And she was there last night for their big win over the Bucs. They go up 2-0. What did you think about the Pacers' performance in that game?
How did the Pacers perform against the Bucks?
Unreal defense coming out of also really fast offense. I mean, they just looked super young, athletic, amazing. more awake like they everything they felt as if they had magnets in their hands to the ball they just felt like everything was easily coming to them as opposed to the bucks looked like they were moving through molasses like it was just like slow basketball on both ends i thought there was opportunities for the bucks to kind of hide the fact that dame lillard came back last night and yes even though he was trying to get things going early in the game it was clear that he'd been out for a month. And there was more that I would have expected for the Milwaukee Bucks to try and pre-switch, kind of hide him off of defenders. But the Bucks brutalized him and kept going after him. And there was a lot there. We're going to dig into it with Shakia, but...
The Pacers just looked very poised and very ready and like they were building off the energy in their building.
Yeah. Dame basically a turnstile on defense and the Pacers. I mean, like you said, they targeted him. Tyrese Halliburton was just running past him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was so deceptive with the Hezzy's the slightest has these in transition and just blowing past people. Yeah. It was the perimeter defense was non-existent for the bucks.
