Kevin Durant had 19 points by the end of Wednesday night’s Game 5 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies. He would not score another point all night. In a rare occurrence for the Thunder, that didn’t make any different as Oklahoma City rolled to a 99-75 victory over Memphis.
Grizzlies Vs. Thunder Final Score: Oklahoma City Cruises In 99-75 Blowout Over Memphis, Grabs 3-2 Series Lead
Just two days after a thrilling triple-overtime win in Memphis, the Thunder dominated every phase of the game Wednesday — most notably forcing the Grizzlies into tying a season-low for points — to take their first lead of the series, 3-2.
Durant had a game-high 19 points, Westbrook totaled 11 points and six assists and five other Oklahoma City players netted at least nine in the lopsided victory, including 18 coming from Daequan Cook.
Fatigue from Monday’s instant classic appeared to play a factor, particularly for Memphis power forward Zach Randolph, who had just nine points following a 34-point, 56-minute effort in Game 4.
The Grizzlies, who were outrebounded by an embarrassing 50-33 margin, will try to even the seesaw series when they host Game 6 on Friday.
