Memphis was somewhat fortunate to come out on top in Game 3 as they didn’t play well for three quarters. The Grizzlies turned it on in the fourth though and the big duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westrbook were terrible for Oklahoma City. They combined to go 0 for 10 in the last 5 minutes and in overtime. Durant missed all three shots he took in overtime. Westbrook committed five turnovers in the third quarter and fouled out in overtime. It was so bad for the Thunder that they scored only 10 points in the fourth quarter.
