You wouldn’t know it by watching Stephen A. Smith’s Monday morning show, but the OKC Thunder steamrolled shorthanded Denver in Game 7 and now advances to the Western Conference Semis. In over two hours of coverage, First Take, that morning show … somehow failed to discuss Sunday’s convincing 125-93 win. Headlined by the presumptive league MVP’s 35-point game, which now has OKC the betting favorite to win the NBA Championship. New York producers apparently weren’t impressed with those storylines.

Thunder guard Alex Caruso expects a tougher matchup against Memphis on Tuesday night, following Oklahoma City's blowout win by more than 50 points in Game 1 on Sunday. "Yeah, you can always improve … they missed some shots that they normally make … some of it's just tightening the screws," Caruso said. Head coach Mark Daigneault said he expects Memphis to come out with more intensity in Game 2. “We're going to get a more physical, more motivated, more connected, faster opponent,” Daigneault said.
