OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Pace was a word in fashion after Oklahoma City’s 100-86 win over Memphis in their first-round NBA playoff opener. The Thunder controlled the pace during the first half by pushing the ball and scoring in transition in building a lead that at one point was 25 points. The Grizzlies were able to slow the game in the third quarter and outscore Oklahoma City by 18.
