According to NBA (2013), the Memphis Grizzlies are moving on to the Conference Finals. In Game 5 of the 2nd round the Grizzlies has finally defeated the Thunder in a 4-1 series (p. n.d). Both teams shot very low percentages but the Grizzlies played better. The problem with the Thunder was that they had a lot of turnovers and gave the Grizzlies second chance points. The Grizzlies’ defence was a main factor in their win because they double teamed Kevin Durant and stopped him from scoring.
The Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t have a lot of ball movement and depended too much on one player to score. The Grizzlies played a little better than the Thunder so they deserved this win. This is the first time that the Memphis Grizzlies advance to the Conference Finals. In the Conference Finals the Grizzlies will either face the San Antonio Spurs or the Golden State Warriors. According to (Sportsworldreport), the Grizzlies might actually be capable of beating the Spurs or Warriors in the Conference Finals (p. n.d.).
