Who won Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies?
Oklahoma City Thunder beat Memphis Grizzlies 114-100 at FedExForum on November 9, 2025.
The Oklahoma City Thunder continued their impressive start to the season with a decisive 114-100 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum. This win extends the Thunder's dominance in their head-to-head series against the Grizzlies, now leading 2-0 for the current season and 5-0 in their last five meetings.
The Thunder entered the game with a strong away record of 10-1, showcasing their ability to perform on the road. They have averaged 123.2 points per game while allowing just 109.7 points in their last ten outings, indicating a solid offensive and defensive balance. Their recent form includes a notable victory over the Sacramento Kings, where they won 132-101 just a day before facing the Grizzlies.
In contrast, the Grizzlies have struggled this season with a home record of 4-7. They have averaged 115.1 points scored per game but have allowed 119.1 points, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Memphis was coming off a win against the Dallas Mavericks, having triumphed 118-104, but their overall form has been inconsistent, with a 1-4 record in their last five games and an average of 109.8 points scored.
The game featured several key players dealing with injuries. For the Grizzlies, Scotty Pippen Jr., Walter Clayton Jr., Karim Lopez, and Jaylen Wells were all listed as day-to-day, while Richie Saunders was confirmed out due to a knee issue. The Thunder also faced injury concerns, with Isaiah Hartenstein, Ajay Mitchell, Otega Oweh, Thomas Sorber, and Jalen Williams all marked as day-to-day.
The Thunder's recent performance has been bolstered by their ability to score effectively, especially in the fourth quarter of this game. Chet Holmgren played a crucial role, contributing significantly to the Thunder's scoring run late in the game. His efforts, alongside those of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, helped seal the victory.
Conditions at FedExForum were favorable for both teams, but the Thunder’s ability to execute in critical moments ultimately made the difference. With the Grizzlies trailing throughout much of the game, they struggled to keep pace with the Thunder's scoring, particularly in the latter stages of the contest.
The betting market reflected the Thunder's strong form, with odds favoring them, attributed to their consistency and performance metrics. The Grizzlies, despite their home advantage, were not seen as likely to overcome the Thunder's momentum.
As the game progressed, the Thunder's scoring plays highlighted their offensive strategy, with Cedric Coward and Holmgren making key contributions in the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies attempted to respond, with Jaren Jackson Jr. and GG Jackson adding points, but it was not enough to close the gap.
Overall, the Thunder's victory not only solidifies their position as a top contender but also raises questions about the Grizzlies' ability to compete consistently this season. The Thunder's performance serves as a reminder of their offensive capabilities and resilience, setting the stage for future matchups in the league.
