Thunder's Triumph: Sweeping Past Grizzlies to Enter Conference Semis

The Oklahoma City Thunder swept the Memphis Grizzlies to advance in the NBA play-offs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder made a remarkable achievement by completing a 4-0 sweep over the Memphis Grizzlies in the best-of-seven series of the NBA play-offs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shone once again, scoring a play-off career-high 38 points in a narrow 117-115 victory. This performance helped the Thunder secure a spot in the Western Conference play-off semi-finals. Jalen Williams also contributed significantly with 23 points. Despite Scotty Pippen Jr's 30-point effort for the Grizzlies, who were without injured star guard Ja Morant, the Thunder dominated for most of the second half. The top seeds in the West will next face either the Denver Nuggets or the Los Angeles Clippers. Elsewhere, the Cleveland Cavaliers demolished the Miami Heat, and Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to victory.
