Northwest Division Betting Odds: April 21 & 22, 2014
The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight in Game 2 of their first round playoff series. The Thunder took the first game 100-86 despite Memphis’ tough defense.
“We got stops,” the Grizzlies Zach Randolph said. “We played our style of basketball. We were getting stops and pushing the ball up and getting back on defense, getting back in transition and slowing down them running off and getting fast breaks.”
“Now we know that we’ve got to send the ones and the twos back on the shot every time,” Memphis guard Courtney Lee said. “We can’t gamble on the backcourt, we’ve got to get back. You know, when (Serge) Ibaka is blocking shots like that, leading off the fast break, me or Michael (Conley) or whoever’s out there at the guard slot needs to realize that and get back.”
“We dug ourselves a hole starting out and climbing that ladder and trying to dig into the lead,” Tony Allen said. “It’s kind of crucial down the stretch, with some guys getting fouls, and fatigue probably might’ve set in. Whatever the case may be, we’ve just got to be ready to play from start to finish. We do that come Monday, I like our odds.”
