Overview
- Playing without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and others, Oklahoma City erased a 21-point second-half deficit for its 32nd win.
- Jalen Williams scored 26 points and Kenrich Williams added 21, hitting the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:07 remaining; Ajay Mitchell scored 23 and Aaron Wiggins had 16.
- Ja Morant missed a fourth straight game with a right calf contusion as Memphis also listed several regulars out or limited.

- Multiple reports say the Grizzlies have taken trade inquiries on Morant as roster instability continues, and OKC extended its series streak to 16 straight wins.
