The OKC Thunder are putting things back in order and rather quickly as they fold the Memphis Grizzlies in the Grind House by the score 116-100. The Grizz had no Marc Gasol nor did they have the "Grind Father" Tony Allen and that put them in a tough spot trying to slow down Russ, KD, Serge, and Super-Subs Reg Jackson and "Silence of the Lambs"...that would be Jeremy Lamb.
The Thunder capped a 1st half run leading 57-42 as the Grind House Faithful hit concessions. It was never in question after that as the Thunder rolled behind Russ Westbrook's 27 points, nine helpers, and six boards. KD added 18 points and six boards with Ibaka 12 and 7 and Super-Sub Lamb chipping in with 18 big ones with that silky-smooth stroke.
The Grizz seemingly playing in 2013-14 like a shell of their former selves was led by underrated PG Mike Conley Jr. who led the Grizz with 20 points and nine helpers. @MacBo50 Grizz PF Zach Randolph added 17 and 8 with Sub Jon Leuer adding 17 points as well. The Grizz no closing the 2nd frame cost them as they could never get back into the game. The reason ..the Grizz "D" as OKC shot nearly 57% from the field, 50% from the Arc, and 81% from the Charity Stripe and that is not helping your cause playing after a home-cooked meal.
The Grizz fall to a disappointing 10-11 while the Regulators OKC move to 17-4 and a 12 wins out of their last 13 games pace. Regulators...Mount Up!
