PLAYER NOTES: --PG Mike Conley fouled out vs. the Thunder. It's the first time Conley has fouled out of a game this season. Previously, he hadn't even gotten five fouls in a game.
Still, Conley scored 17 points, the 14th straight game he has scored in double figures. He tied his season high by hitting seven field goals.
--Since going 0-for-2 against Portland on Feb. 18, F Darrell Arthur has gone 19-for-26 from the field in the last four games. Arthur was 6-for-7 against Oklahoma City.
--F Rudy Gay's 20 points and seven rebounds marked the ninth time this season that Gay has scored at least 20 points and grabbed at least seven rebounds. Gay sprained an ankle in the third quarter, but he came back in the game early in the fourth quarter.
"We didn't push the ball early like we should have," Gay said. "We have to realize that if we don't pick it up, we're going to lose."
MEDICAL WATCH:
None.
