Thunder Stage Incredible 29-point Comeback To Stun Grizzlies

The US Basketball team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, achieved a remarkable 29-point comeback after Memphis lost star guard Ja Morant due to a hip injury, resulting in the Thunders 114-108 win on Thursday and moving them to the edge of a playoff sweep.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 31 points, Jalen Williams contributed 26, and Chet Holmgren tallied 23 of his 24 points during the second half, leading to the second-largest NBA playoff comeback since 1997.

Oklahoma City now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series in the Western Conference first round, with an opportunity to complete the sweep in game four in Memphis on Saturday.

Morant sustained a bruised left hip late in the second quarter while driving toward the basket and leaping into the Thunders Luguentz Dort, falling face-first onto the court and writhing in pain for several minutes before exiting the game for good.

The Grizzlies established their biggest lead at 69-40, just after Morants exit, with 3:15 left in the second quarter, and Memphis held a 77-51 advantage at halftime. However, Oklahoma City outscored the home team 63-31 in the second half.
