It didn't take long for the Blue to fall behind by double-digit points. They were in a 32-26 deficit after the first quarter. Both teams picked up the scoring pace in the second frame — flirting with 40-point quarters. OKC had 34 points in it. But the Hustle did more as defense was optional. The Blue were in a 70-60 hole at the halftime break.

Coming out of the halftime break, the Blue started to lose even more ground. They only had 22 points in the third quarter. That put them in a 101-82 deficit. By that point, OKC's defense was nonexistent. Memphis carved them up at all four levels — inside the paint, in the mid-range, outside the perimeter and at the free-throw line.

The Blue sprayed perfume on the final score with 33 points in the final, but the game was already decided. They trailed by as many as 20 points. OKC couldn't cut it below double-digit points. There was no real threat of a comeback attempt.

The Blue shot 45% from the field and went 15-of-37 (40.5%) from 3. They shot 12-of-17 on free throws. They had 21 assists on 39 baskets. Six Blue players scored double-digit points.
