Thunder Rally to Historic Win Over Grizzlies

The Oklahoma City Thunder overcame a 29-point deficit to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies 114-108 in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs, marking the second-largest playoff comeback in league history and the largest halftime comeback ever recorded. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 31 points, while Alex Caruso delivered a well-rounded performance with 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, four steals, and a block in 23 minutes. Caruso's defensive intensity, especially in the second half, played a crucial role in sparking the Thunder's turnaround. His late-game heroics, including a key steal and game-clinching layup, underscored his value to Oklahoma City. The win gives the Thunder a commanding 3-0 series lead. Memphis star Ja Morant exited during the first half with a hip injury, which shifted the momentum in the Thunder’s favor.
