Thunder Vs. Grizzlies, NBA Playoff Schedule: Series Begins Sunday In Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t supposed to have home court advantage in the second round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs, but the Memphis Grizzlies’ stunning upset of the San Antonio Spurs messed a lot of things up. The Thunder will celebrate, though, as Game 1 will tip at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City on Sunday. That means the Grizzlies receive little preparation time, having just finished off the Spurs on Friday night.

Game 2: Tue., May 3 in Oklahoma City, 9:30 p.m., TNT

Game 5: Wed., May 11 in Oklahoma City, Time TBD, TNT
Game 6: Fri., May 13 in Memphis, Time TBD, ESPN
