The Memphis Grizzlies faced a disappointing end to their 2024-25 NBA season, falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 4-0 sweep during the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Grizzlies, who had been a formidable team before the All-Star break, suffered a record-setting defeat in Game 1 with a score of 131-80. In Game 2, they again struggled defensively, losing 118-99, mainly due to Oklahoma City's effective perimeter shooting.

Despite a strong start in Game 3, where they led by 29 points, the Grizzlies were unable to maintain their advantage after Ja Morant exited the game with a hip injury. His absence was keenly felt in Game 4, where the team ultimately succumbed, marking an end to a season that began with high hopes but culminated in frustration. Following the sweep, the Grizzlies are set for an offseason of reflection, including potential restructuring of the roster and coaching staff.
