The Oklahoma City Thunder ( 25 - 11 ) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies ( 19 - 18 ) 112 - 94 at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Wednesday . Memphis was without point guard Mike Conley ( achilles ) , who added an achilles injury to an already banged up lower back and watched from the sideline , as his team was outpaced by Oklahoma City the entire evening . The Grizzlies staple is their defense , and they played strong throughout December allowing just over 92 points per game , but this was not the case against the Thunder , who found defensive breakdowns and favorable matchups right out of the gate . An offensive spark was provided from Mario Chalmers off the bench , who contributed 23 points on 8 - of - 19 shooting , to lead all Grizzlies in scoring . Zach Randolph was reserved to the bench and added 12 points and six rebounds , a less effective performance in comparison to his double - double against the Blazers on Monday . Marc Gasol finished with a lowly eight points on 2 - of - 11 shooting in 24 minutes . When Gasol scores less than 15 points , the Grizzlies struggle to find ways to win games . With the loss , Memphis falls to 6 - 14 against teams above .500 in 2015 - 2016 . The Memphis Grizzlies will look to bounce back when they host the Denver Nuggets ( 12 - 23 ) on Friday . The Oklahoma City Thunder entered Wednesday with a transition heavy gameplan led by the blinding speed and athleticism of Russell Westbrook . Combine the all star guard with Kevin Durant ( toe ) back in the lineup , and the Grizzlies were simply outmatched on both ends of the floor . The Thunder are coming off a bad loss to the Kings as double - digit favorites on Monday , but bounced back in emphatic fashion behind Durant , who finished with 26 points , 17 rebounds , three assists , a steal and a block on 9 - of - 18 shooting , while Westbrook poured in 20 points of his own , to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists . As a unit , the Thunder shot 46 percent from the floor and 47 percent from behind the arc , and although they turned the ball over 16 times ( compared to the Grizzlies eight turnovers ) , their ability to score and work the shot clock resulted in a blowout home win , especially at the rim . Dion Waiters added 15 points in 31 minutes off the bench and was pivotal in extending a quick first quarter lead . The Thunder will look to continue to compete for a top spot in the Western Conference when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers ( 8 - 28 ) on Friday .
