The Oklahoma City Thunder broke down offensively in the second half of game six at Memphis, after taking a 10-point lead into the half. They went ice cold to finish the second half at 11-38 from the field, and took the donut from deep, misfiring on all 12 of their 3's. They have had the upper hand in this series despite the 3-3 record, carrying at least a double-digit lead in each of the last five. I look for them to continue the aggressive defense that is best amongst the 16 teams that have seen post-season action, allowing less than 42% shooting. The Grizzlies are just 4-9-1 in their last 14 playoffs games as a dog from +5-10.5, and have failed to cover any of their last four after posting a double-digit win. The Thunder is one of the best in the NBA off a loss. Play on Oklahoma City to cover.
