Thunder crushes Grizzlies; Celtics, Cavs, Warriors win
The Freeman
|April 22, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder destroyed the Memphis Grizzlies 131-80 in the most lopsided game-one win in NBA playoff history on Sunday as reigning champions Boston, Cleveland and Golden State opened the post-season with victories.

The Celtics, fueled by 30 points from Derrick White, defeated Orlando Magic 103-86.
The Cavaliers, who beat out the Celtics for top seed in the Eastern Conference, downed Miami Heat 121-100 and the Warriors, with 31 points from Stephen Curry, fended off a late Houston surge to beat the Rockets 95-85.
Oklahoma City, who emerged as top seeds in the Western Conference with the best overall record in the league, seized a 1-0 lead in their best-of-seven first-round series in emphatic style.
The Thunder's 51-point margin of victory was even more remarkable given that Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had his statistically worst performance of the season -- managing just 15 points, five assists and three rebounds.
But all of Oklahoma City's starters scored in double figures with Jalen Williams providing 20 points along with six assists and Aaron Wiggins contributing 21 points off the bench.
The win was the fifth largest ever in NBA playoff history and also a franchise record.
