The Oklahoma City Thunder made short work of the Memphis Grizzlies, sweeping them in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Granted, Ja Morant missed most of Game 3 and all of Game 4 with an injury, but regardless, the Thunder were expected to blow them out.

The Oklahoma City Thunder swept the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of their Western Conference Playoffs matchup, but Ja Morant believes it might have gone down differently had he not exited Game 3—and then missed Game 4—with a left hip contusion.

According to Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies' fate was sealed when Lu Dort collided with him mid-air before Game 3 went into halftime. A nasty spill on the hardwood ruled him out for the final one-and-a-half games of a four-game sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
