It’s been less than a week since the Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Memphis Grizzlies 124-93 in Oklahoma City, but the two teams are set to face off again in Memphis tonight. Since that meeting, the Thunder has gone 1-1 with a loss to the Indiana Pacers and a win against the Dallas Mavericks. The Grizzlies have also gone 1-1 with a win against the Washington Wizards and a loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The Grizzlies are slightly healthier than they were the other night, but I wouldn’t be surprised if tonight’s game looked eerily similar to the one on Sunday.
