The Memphis Grizzlies are ready for another shot at the Oklahoma City Thunder after a disappointing game one loss, which ended in the largest deficit in a Game 1 in NBA history.

The Grizzlies started game one strong and competitive until the final two minutes of the first quarter, when the Thunder took a 12-point lead by the end of the quarter. Memphis then went scoreless for the first four minutes of the second quarter while the Thunder continued to build their lead at an exceptional rate.

Memphis was never able to recover any of the ground they gave up, which ended up in a 50+ point deficit for a majority of the second half. The Grizzlies have another shot at taking a game away from the Thunder and heading back to Memphis for the next two games following Tuesday night's game.

Marvin Bagley III was the sole bright spot for the Grizzlies as he totaled 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals on a 100% shooting from the field.

The Grizzlies are entering the game with two players listed on the injury report: Brandon Clarke and Jaylen Wells.

Ja Morant is AVAILABLE.
