Intro:

Post-game reaction after the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-91 in Game 1 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Western Conference semi-finals on Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lionel Hollins, Memphis Grizzlies Head Coach

"We just weren't able to sustain the fourth quarter. Kevin Durant's a great player and he got going. He made some big shots. I mean you talk about, whatever you want to talk about, but he made those shots. I mean, the last one on the break when they were down one and he made a shot to put them up one. I mean, not everyone's making that shot at that particular point. And he just continually made shots and forced us to have to go score again. We did for a minute and then we slipped up and didn't score. And eventually they took the lead and won the game."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach

"He (Kevin Durant) has a high I.Q. Decisions with the handle, when he handles the basketball he can make good decisions. And I thought he had a chance to drive or he chose to pull up. Or if he was going to drive, I thought he had a corner three-point shooter. So, he puts them in a tough position and that's what the great players do. And he's a smart player and he understands that time and score and what we wanted to get accomplished. The pull up, wide open, sixteen-foot jump shot, that's his shot."
