The Oklahoma City Thunder recorded the biggest Game 1 win in NBA playoff history with a stunning 131-80 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.

The Thunder drew first blood in the Western Conference playoff series in dramatic fashion. Only four NBA postseason games in history have been more one-sided.

Oklahoma City finished the regular season with a 68-14 record – the best in the league – and looked every bit the overall No 1 seed. 

There have been two 58-point playoff margins in NBA history: Denver beat New Orleans 121-63 on April 27, 2009, and the Minneapolis Lakers beat the St. Louis Hawks 133-75 on March 19, 1956.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat Golden State by 56 (126-70) on April 21, 1973, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Milwaukee Bucks by 54 (120-66) on April 30, 2015.

The Thunder have now written their own slice of history, with the game well in hand by early in the second quarter.
