Thundering On!

Michael and Scottie. Magic and Kareem. Kevin and Russell?

In a battle of surprising young frachises, the team with the All-Stars won as the OKC Thunder moved on to the Western Cofnerence Finals againts Dallas by beating the Memphis Grizzlies 105-90.



Durant had his best offensive outing in the series, scoring 39 points while Russell Westbrook logged his first ever playoff triple double, with 14 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds.

Mike Conley led Memphis with 18 points but big men Zach Randolph (17 points, 10 rebounds) and Marc Gasol (12points, 7 rebounds) were ineffective against the more athletic Thunder frontline.

Durant and company now face an experienced Dallas squad that boast of Finals experience and veteran leadership in Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.
