The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs last night (135-129) in the wake of an unstoppable Ja Morant as usual. 38 points and one of the big highlights of the night for the Tennessee star.
Your morning boxscore is served to you on a platter.
On paper, this match had everything to end in a huge blowout. ‘Cause hey, maybe the Grizzlies aren’t as “fine in the West“ as claimed by their All-Star point guard. Meanwhile, it was the Spurs and their penultimate Western Conference tally that came to town tonight. Well the least we can say is that Taylor Jenkins’ ursids have found a response to the spurs of Gregg Popovich. The latter played their luck bravely, in the wake of a Tre Jones (22 points) still inspired once morest his brother, and a Keldon Johnson (24 points) who continues his learning of future lieutenant of Victor Wembanyama franchise player.
This is where our friend Ja comes into the picture. Getting his team out of the quagmire, isn’t that the role of any good self-respecting leader? Well that’s what Temetrius Jamal did, who took the whole Bears troop on his back – which is not easy when said troop has a specimen of Steven Adams’ stature – to go and win the victoire. 38 points at 14/25 of global address including 3/5 from Vancouver to send back the Texans to their tanking operation, it is indeed what one can call taking its responsibilities.
And since Ja would never be Ja without the jams in pajamas, fans of flights (not very lyrical at the time) were treated to their little thrill moment. Jakob Poeltl turns in 5 counters on the match? No problem for the Grizzlies point guard, who went to remind the Austrian pivot that he didn’t care regarding his reputation in the field of circle protection.

And it was not the first time that the brother of the Bears sent the native of Vienna to take a little dip in the Danube. Small memory for the form.
As boss, Ja Morant has done the job to allow his Grizzlies to stay in contact with the Nuggets in the heights of the Western Conference. No matter how much the opposition drags itself into the depths of the League, a win is still a win.
