Game 4: Oklahoma City Thunder 97, Memphis Grizzlies 103 (Playoffs)
Highlights: stripped Durant, buzzer-beating putback
Game Score: 19.5
Box Score: 23 points (8-17 field goals, 7-8 free throws), 12 rebounds (6 offensive), 3 assists (2 turnovers), 1 block (3 fouls) in 40 minutes (+9)
Story: The Grizzlies came back from an early deficit to win in overtime, securing a 3-1 lead over the Thunder. Memphis put up a ton of bricks, shooting a grisly 40% on the night, but Randolph lead the team in True Shooting and offensive rebounds. If Randolph shoots his average from the line (i.e. 6 of 8), the Grizzlies lose in regulation. Randolph wasn’t credited with a steal but he ripped the ball away from Kevin Durant in the last minute of the fourth quarter, preventing that go-ahead attempt.
