I thought so originally but I figured they'd split the first 2, Memphis would win 2 at home, OKC would win at home and Memphis would win in game 6. Or in 5 if Memphis swept them in OKC and then blew a game at home. It is plausible that Durant goes for 45 tonight, Ibaka shows up, Gasol gets in foul trouble, OKC goes up 2-0 and the series goes into a defend home turf mode.
Memphis lacks that down the stretch guy to take control of the game at the end. IMO that cost them game 1 and might hurt them again.
Hopefully tonight's games can come close to last nights.
