Intro:

Post-game reaction after the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 88-84 to close out their NBA Western Conference Semi-finals on Wednesday (15 May) at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Script:

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

"I thought our guys (in) tonight's game, we did a great job of competing. We didn't have a lot of shots fall in, but we didn't keep our head down and stop competing. That's what our team is built on, the spirit of competition and competing for one another and that was very evident tonight how we played."

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

"They fought hard, they did everything that they could. Tonight they really came back in the second half and just kept coming, kept coming. We just were fortunate to just make enough plays to win the game and that's the way we've been all year, but will take it. They battled us and they gave us everything they had."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies Forward

"I mean it's been great, just seeing where we came from. The work ethic, how Mike (Conley) developed and Marc (Gasol) come from being a top five point guard (Mike Conley), just our whole team (Tony (Allen) and myself and just to work and continue to get better and better as a group and sticking together and believing."
