Just over a week later, the Grizzlies have already been eliminated from the playoffs, getting swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Memphis never stood much of a chance in this series, even though they led by 29 in Game 3, a lead they eventually blew because of the hip injury to Ja Morant.

Even though the Thunder swept the Grizzlies, each game was dramatically closer. The Thunder blew out the Grizzlies in a historic 51-point Game 1 win. They beat Memphis in a standard blowout for Game 2. They completed a historic 29-point comeback in Game 3. And finally survived a back-and-forth affair in Game 4.

Even with Ja Morant sidelined with a hip injury, the Grizzlies still put up a formidable fight against the No. 1 seed Thunder in what turned out to be a hard-fought Game 4 battle. It was still the same result in the end,
