After an exciting night on Tuesday (7/5) that saw the Memphis Grizzlies roll out 2022 NBA Draftees Jake LaRavia, Kennedy Chandler, and David Roddy, Thursday night's second game of the summer session was a smorgasbord of action from G-League level Grizzly players like Shaq Buchanan and Romeo Weems. Meanwhile the Oklahoma City Thunder trotted out Josh Giddey, who scored a triple-double (14/10/10), and the 2nd overall pick from the 2022 NBA Draft Chet Holmgren. Final: Oklahoma City Thunder 87 Memphis Grizzlies 71
Yes, Kenny Lofton was likely the highlight for the Memphis Grizzlies with 19 points (he turned it over 4 times). But the Kenny Lofton hype-train party wasn't enough to slow down Giddey or Holmgren (also had a double-double 11 points and 12 rebounds).
