Thunder Rally for Historic 3-0 Series Lead Against Grizzlies

The Oklahoma City Thunder staged a historic 29-point comeback to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies 114-108 in Game 3 of their first-round NBA playoff series, seizing a 3-0 series lead. The momentum shifted dramatically after Memphis star Ja Morant exited late in the first half with a hip injury, which sapped the Grizzlies' energy and execution. Despite Memphis's explosive start, led by Scotty Pippen Jr., the Thunder dominated the second half behind strong performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren. This comeback marks the second-largest in NBA playoff history. The Thunder now have a chance to complete the sweep in Game 4. Morant’s status remains uncertain as he undergoes further evaluation.
