The Oklahoma City Thunder will look to confirm their spot in the Western Conference semifinals when they play the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series. The Thunder overcame a 29-point deficit to drop a largest first-half comeback in the playoff history and took a 3-0 lead in the series.

The series has been a nightmare for the Grizzlies, who were heading towards their first victory on Thursday, but Morant’s injury pushed them back. They faced their biggest playoff defeat in Game 1, and Game 2 was just a regular outing for the Thunder to defeat the Grizzlies. Memphis are on the verge of elimination. If they extend it for one more game, it would be the only positive outcome of the series.
