In a surprising turn during Game 3, the Vancouver Grizzlies, donning their old uniforms, showcased a strong performance for 20 minutes before succumbing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-108. Despite a disastrous opening to the playoffs, where they lost by an aggregate of 70 points, the Grizzlies initially dominated Game 3, boasting a 29-point lead led by impressive showings from Ja Morant and Scottie Pippen The Younger. However, the promising lead was short-lived as Morant faced an injury, raising concerns about the team's future in the series.
Then again, maybe Memphis should stay in their Vancouvers. Because other than those 20 minutes, their team has gotten out-and-out Wizarded by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
To their credit, though, the Grizz jumped back at the Thunder in the first 20 minutes of Game 3 in a convincing way. They blitzed OKC and made a highly temporary statement about the longer term future of a series.
Pippen TY had 23, Morant 15 and five, and the Grizzlies made the Thunder look like, well, the Vancouver Grizzlies. NBA games are 48 minutes long, which puts even the most dominant 20 minutes of basketball in perspective.
Then Morant was arsed out of the game and maybe the series in a collision...
