MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for Oklahoma City with 38 points and six assists. Four other Thunder players were in double figures as Jalen Williams dropped 23 and Isaiah Hartenstein, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Joe all put up 11.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, fueled by 38 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, held off the Memphis Grizzlies 117-115 on Saturday to complete a 4-0 sweep in their NBA Western Conference playoff series and become the first team to reach the second round.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 38 points and Memphis ultimately couldn't get around the absence of Morant, who bruised his left hip in a hard fall in Game 3.
