While game one saw lots of iso-heavy sets, the increase in game 2 shows that Memphis was more patient on offense. Given the team has very little individual offensive firepower, the “get it done by committee” style requires ball movement to get the entire team involved. AccuScore projects 23 assists for Memphis in game 3. Fun Fact: The Memphis Grizzlies are now 64-8 over the last two seasons in games when scoring 100 points or more. Memphis is in the bottom third of the league in limiting opponents fastbreak production while Oklahoma City is in the top third in fastbreak points per game. The Thunder finished with 16 fastbreak points in game 2 – most of it coming in the second half. Memphis was able to slow down the Thunder attack in the first quarter, helping to dictate the pace for the whole game. Keep an eye on OKC’s early transition game – easy buckets just gets Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook rolling. The Grizzlies are dead last in the league at three pointers made per game. The Thunder are No. 15 in the league in the same category. Despite having the quantity and quality of better shooters, the Thunder are projected to make just 2 more three-pointers than the Grizzlies despite attempting 6 more than their opponent. In a game projected to be this close, how many three-pointers the Thunder can make will have a big impact on the outcome. With Memphis purposely slowing the pace down, three-pointers for OKC become even more valuable as the number of possessions become a premium.
