Short-handed Thunder rally to edge Grizzlies
Kenrich Williams delivered a go-ahead three-pointer with 1:07 remaining and Alex Caruso blocked a last-gasp attempt by Grizzlies guard Cedric Coward in the final second as the Thunder triumphed despite the absence of reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and center Chet Holmgren.
Gilgeous-Alexander was sidelined by a sprained ankle while Holmgren was nursing sore shins, both joining Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams on OKC's injured list.
"Great resilience by the team," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said.
