LOGO WATCH "MEMPHIS in May"..."An Afternoon Out with the SPANIARD" Episode...the LOGO's Reigning Defensive Player of the Year and the GRIZZ turn back OKC for Game 3...GRIZZ up 2-1...@kdTREY5 nets Two in the Final Frame...#GrizzBiz #OKCbiz

The Thunder played an almost perfect Game after coming out of the Motel the only thing left was to grab that letter in the alphabet and it eluded them. Behind a brilliant 4th frame from 2012-13 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Marc "The Spaniard" Gasol the Grizz get a 87-81 win.

Gasol led the Grizz with 20 points including a few dazzling moves in the post late. Both Conley Jr. and Allen of the Grizz back court each had 14 points with Grind House Top Reinforcement Jerryd Bayless adding 11 points. The Young Gunz OKC had more points in the paint, more boards, and more transition points but they just could not make the Play at the end that could have gotten them the much-needed "W".

@kdTREY5 led all scorers with 25 points as well as eleven boards but only had two points in the final frame. Fatigue looks like it played a factor with KD as he is playing out of position on the Defensive End. Point Guard Reggie Jackson had 16 points and ten rebounds with K-Mart adding 13 points and "Air Congo" Ibaka going double-double with 13 and 10. Ibaka missed two dunks a a couple of bunnies as he continues to struggle with his Offense. The Thunder need a low-Post Presence ASAP and that will have to be in the Off-Season.

The Grizz now will go into Game Three thinking we need to hold serve on our floor and put them in an Elimination Scenario early to see what the 2011-12 Western Conference Champs do. Knowing the Thunder and @kdTREY5 they won't go quietly and the Grind House will have to speed up for game four because here comes OKC in the fast lane.
