THUNDER 86 GRIZZLIES 77...Yes it was at the GRIT & GRIND Pace but OKC has the "SLIM REAPER" and the BOYS from the GRIND HOUSE Beale Street do not...REGULATORS Report OKC as its GRIZZ how does it feel to get an "L" Edition #THUNDERnation #THUNDERup...REGULATORS...Mount Up!

The Grizz hung tough but this isn't the Clips of Lob City as its the best Team in the Logo in their house on their terms and that would be @kdTREY5's Terms. The Regulators knew they would have trouble controlling pace playing the Grizz but they come out swinging and hit the "W" Column for a hard-fought and close 86-77 victory.

The Thunder get 31 points and eight helpers from KD as he also grabbed eight Oranges with "Air Congo"riding Shotgun with 21 points and twelve boards as the thunder hold on to beat that Grizzles Bunch back to playing under 90s ball on the NBA Hardwood. Sixteen Turnovers is inexcusable from OKC and playing at home shooting 60% from the Stripe is not getting it done. Lucky for them the Grizz never shoot a high-percentage and they eke out the "W". Thunder PG Reggie Jackson was the only other Thunder Player in double figures with 12 points.

The Grizz get four players in double figures but no one went O-Zone Layer on the Regulators. Both Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol (dba as "A Night Out with the Grind House Bigs) get 13 points each as Z-Bo also grabbed thirteen Oranges. Mike Miller and Mike Conley Jr. add 11 points apiece as the Team Grit & Grind got a little taste of their own medicine in this one. OKC got "Stops" when they needed to and played at the Grizzlies Pace but OKC can play a myriad of styles with the "Slim Reaper" navigating the controls or Uncle Russ.

The Regulators move to 39-11 as they try to become the first Team in the Logo to hit the Winner's Circle 40 times. The Grizz fall to 26-21 but they are positioned to have a Monster 2nd half with Gasol back healthy and the "Grind Father" Tony Allen getting back healthy.
