Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks has hailed his team's post-season preparations following their 4-3 first-round playoff win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Thunder clinched progress to the semi-finals on Saturday with a 120-109 victory in Game Seven at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"Memphis is as good as any team in the West they grind you out, but give our guys credit they stepped up and matched it," Brooks said after the match.
"We knew this would be a heck of a series and tonight I thought we were prepared for whatever they threw at us."
The Thunder will start game one of the semis at home on Monday.
