On January 5, Beijing time, the Grizzlies challenged the Cavaliers away. In the last game, the Grizzlies defeated the Nets led by Durant and Harden, and the team won five straight! Morant continued to be efficient, scoring a game-high 36 points. Can he continue to lead the team to a winning streak today?
The Cavaliers and Grizzlies have met once this season, with the Grizzlies beating the Cavaliers 132-121 in the season opener. At present, the Cavaliers' roster has changed greatly, Sexton and Rubio have been reimbursed in succession, plus Okoro suffered a sprained left elbow and will be absent for 2-3 weeks, but fortunately the team trade came to Rondo's rescue. Garland made a comeback today, the same as the 2019 draft, and his duel with Morant is the biggest attraction of this game.
Both teams are a bit more absent, and Rondo is currently showing that he is still in quarantine and cannot make his debut today. With Morant scoring a tough layup, the Grizzlies finished the half 57-55 to complete the comeback! It was a really exciting game, the two sides fought against each other, only two quarters were played, the Grizzlies scored in double figures with 3 players, and the Cavaliers had 4 players!
The Grizzlies scored the most jackson, shooting 5-of-8, 3-of-5 three-pointers for 14 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal; Bane contributed 11 points on 3 three-pointers and 1 shot; Morant continued to play steadily, shooting 5-of-8, scoring 13-pointers on 3-of-3 shooting, plus 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks! The latter turned to pick up the big lever, and scored a penalty, worthy of the waist king.
On the Cavaliers' side, Aaron and Garland both scored 14 points! Rookie Mobley contributed 10 points on 5-of-8. The most worth mentioning is Lefour, Lefu's recent performance really has the meaning of returning to the peak, playing 16 minutes off the bench in the first half, 4 of 12 shooting, 3 of 7 three points, 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist! The Cavaliers' large lineup is truly intimidating, and Aaron can be said to have directly dominated the interior.
What's even more terrifying is this ball, Jalen Jackson Jr. wants to dunk with one arm, and the Cavaliers "three highs" Markkanen, Allen, and Mobley jump up and surround them in the air at the same time, and finally are under the Aaron hat! Little Jaren: What's going on? It's dark?
Easy side to fight again, the two teams still have back and forth, the Cavaliers single quarter 20-19 Grizzlies, three quarters of the Grizzlies or lead by 1 point. Jackson scored a high of eight points on four free throws on 2-of-the-bat pitch, Garland contributed five, and Markkanen and Allen scored four. The most wonderful goal of the quarter, the Cavaliers played a perfect fit, Love saved the ball and passed the ball in one, and Wendler received the ball from the outside and the pitcher fell! It's really older and more demon, Lefour.
In the final quarter, Love came up to score 5 points in a row, and Jones responded with consecutive throws. The Grizzlies took back Morant, and Garland broke through consecutive kills. Both sides actually played the air dunk, the cavalier side Aaron just took the dunk, still laughing and celebrating with his teammates, and clark returned to the flat basket angry buckle!
With Markkanen's three-point shot, Mobley's big heart-throwing shot left, with more than 30 seconds left in the game, and the two teams were 104 draws! At the crucial moment, Morant scored a confrontational stagnant shot, then completed the steal and hit another consecutive 4 points! Unfortunately, Cavalier Garland failed to hit consecutive outside lines, and the game was over. Morant's steal counter-attack killed the game directly.
The Grizzlies scored in double figures, With Morant shooting 9-of-21 and 0-of-3 for a team-high 26 points, plus 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks! In the last quarter, 8 consecutive points were scored to take away the victory! Bain had 11 points and seven assists, Jackson 22 points, Jones 12 points, Clarke 13 points and nine rebounds, Williams 10 points, Adams seven points and 11 rebounds.
On the Cavaliers side, Garland scored 27 points and 10 assists! Markkanen had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Mobley 17 points, Allen 22 points and 12 rebounds, Love 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Vindler 6 points.
That way, congratulations to the Grizzlies for their six-game winning streak! Perkins said: From the performance point of view, the league's most recent MVP is Morant himself!
