Before some playoff series even tipped off their Game 3, the Oklahoma City Thunder had already taken care of business in their Round 1 matchup. They were the first team to move on to the NBA playoffs' second round.

The Grizzlies, playing without star guard Ja Morant due to a hip injury sustained in Game 3, were led by Scotty Pippen Jr., who posted 30 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists before fouling out. Santi Aldama added 23 points, nine rebounds, and three assists in a commendable effort.

The Oklahoma City Thunder flat-out swept the Memphis Grizzlies in the pair's first-round playoff series, but Grizzlies guard Ja Morant still believes his team could have sent things to a Game 5 were it not for a "frustrating" Game 3.
