Quarter-Finals Round 1: Oklah.City T. - Memphis G. 101-114

Date: May 1, 2011
Zach Randolph and the Memphis Grizzlies powered their way to another playoff upset — not that Randolph considers it one. Randolph had a playoff career-high 34 points and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who outmatched the Oklahoma City Thunder inside for a 114-101 victory in the opening game of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday. “We believe,” Randolph said. “We definitely believe. Our confidence is up high. I tell the guys we can compete and play with anybody.” Just as they did in a first-round upset of top-seeded San Antonio, Randolph and Marc Gasol — who had 20 points and 13 rebounds — provided enough punch to give eighth-seeded Memphis a road victory in game one. “I think we always try to do that. The thing is that it’s not always possible,” Gasol said. “We always try to come out and execute and play the right way. It’s not always possible. Teams are going to adjust, and they’re going to do something different. “We’ve got to keep being hungry, keep being unselfish offensively and defensively and keep playing the right way.” Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 33 points and 11 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook scored 29, but the All-Star tandem couldn’t overcome a big advantage in the paint for Memphis. Durant went on to say that he considers Randolph, a 10-year veteran who’s bounced around the league with no postseason success until this year, to be “the best power forward in the league.” “I’ve got to agree with that. Thanks, KD,” Randolph said with a smile. “I appreciate that.” *Courtesy of www.kansascity.com
