Durant Takes Oklahoma City Thunder To 105-90 Win, Eliminate Grizzlies In Games 7

There’s no denying that the Grizzlies had among the most amazing postseason runs in all of NBA history at the Finals betting.

From never winning a playoff competition, not to mention a series, this year’s team removed the top-seeded Spurs in the first round, earning a permanent place in NBA history. Then the Memphis Grizzlies gave the No. 4 seed Thunder a scare, taking the Western Conference Semifinals to 7 games before going down in beat and earning an early trip to the postseason.

The Oklahoma City Thunder started gaining shots to fall following a awful Game Six, shooting 48% from the field in Game 7. The Memphis Grizzlies, on the flip side, were awful all evening, never breaking 40%. And in spite of taking eleven fewer shots than Memphis, Oklahoma City had five more offensive rebounds. Total, it was just a poor night for the Memphis Grizzlies, who had been a streaky squad all postseason but hit one of their cold stretches at really the wrong instant in basketball betting.

Following a frustrating Game  Six, Kevin Durant bounced back hard, scoring 39 points, his top offensive output for the entire postseason thus far. Following stumbling early in the match and absent some easy shots, he began to hit one following another, and the Grizzlies might not stop him and fellow Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook. Memphis Grizzlies star Zach Randolph went missing, scoring simply 17 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

This is going to be the 1st time the Oklahoma City Thunder have moved on to the Western Conference finals since 1996, when they were identified as the Supersonics. The year, the squad made it to the NBA Finals, before racing into the buzzsaw that was the 72-10 Chicago Bulls, directed by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. Ironically, if they can make it past the Mavs, this year’s Oklahoma City Thunder could meet the Bulls in the NBA Finals again.

The Oklahoma City Thunder now go on to take on the Dallas Mavericks wagers, who have been resting since sweeping the reigning champ Lakers from the playoffs over a week ago. The Mavs are the faves to win the series and the 6-point faves to win the first match in Dallas. Whilst the leading 2 teams left in the NBA battle it out in the East, the Dallas-OKC series ought to be only as entertaining, if not as hyped.
