Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Matchday 2 of the NBA Summer League that will take place on July 6 at 7:00 PM ET.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies will be yet another enticing fixture in the NBA Summer League. This fixture will take place at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. The Thunder are coming off an exciting win in their first game of the Salt Lake City leg. Chet Holmgren was the star on the night as he scored 23 points and broke the summer league record by registering 6 blocks against the Utah Jazz.
He shot 77.8% from the field and looked in great offensive flow throughout the game. Holmgren combined well with OKC guard Josh Giddey, who came back after a long injury layoff. The 20-year-old bagged 14 points and 11 boards in just 23 minutes. The Thunder were extremely dominant on both ends of the floor. This certainly helped them as they were able to go on and grab a 98-77 victory on the night.
The Memphis Grizzlies are also coming off an exciting win in their first game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Xavier Tillman scored a team-high 16 points. Ziaire Williams also looked in great form as he racked up 15 points and made 8 assists in 25 minutes. With 15 seconds left to play, the 76ers had the last possession, where a three-pointer would have sealed the game for them. However, Kennedy Chandler showed some impressive defense on Jaden Springer to force a turnover and this ultimately helped the Grizzlies to get to a 103-99 win.
