There may be some truth to tryptophan in turkey tires people out because the OKC Thunder sure looked like they needed a nap in the loss to the Grizzlies.
In all seriousness, the Grizzlies had revenge on their minds after losing a double-digit lead just over a week ago to the Thunder. They were on a mission and they accomplished it.
Old habits reared their ugly heads as the Thunder got off to a slow start in the opening frame falling behind by five points (23-18). The second quarter was more in line with how the Thunder have played recently as they scored 29 points to the Grizzlies 26 to cut the deficit to two heading into the break.
