The Oklahoma City Thunder were leading the Memphis Grizzlies 68-36 at halftime in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs.
Thunder big man Isaiah Hartenstein and forward Jalen Williams lead OKC with 14 points each. Memphis has been led by star guard Ja Morant with 11 points.
The 32-point first half lead serves as the largest first half margin in Thunder playoff history.
That gap poses the question: what are the largest margins of victory in NBA playoff game?
Ironically, the largest win in NBA history came in a 73-point victory by the Grizzlies in a 152-79 win over the Thunder on December 2, 2021.
