Memphis may have finally put an end to questions with a 123-107 win over Oklahoma Cty today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Hayes was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Oklahoma Cty. Hayes let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Memphis was led by Hayes (20 points, 2 blocks), Maxwell (27 points, a steal), Sigler (12 points, 11 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks). Oklahoma Cty was led by Golden (19 points, 18 boards, 2 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Hodges (25 points, 0 assists), Joseph (19 points, 0 assists, a block).

Memphis improve to 14-3 and 7-0 at home. They remain at #1 in the Southwest and stay at #2 overall in the Western Conference. Oklahoma Cty are now 11-9. They stay at #3 in the Northwest and remain at #7 overall in the Western Conference.
