Oklahoma City completed a first-round sweep, but it still needs to find its outside shooting touch. On Saturday, the Thunder held on to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 117-115 to earn a 4-0 series win and advance to the second round.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played into all his MVP, game-closing, midrange-loving ways as the Thunder closed out the Grizzlies in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs.

Jalen Williams added 24 points, and Chet Holmgren posted 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Despite shooting just 10-for-29, Gilgeous-Alexander found his rhythm in the second quarter, helping OKC hit a franchise playoff-record 12 threes in the first half to lead 70-52 at the break.
