On January 12, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Conference Focus game, the Grizzlies host a Challenge for the Warriors. Prior to this game, the Grizzlies were no. 4 in the West and the Warriors were no. 1 in the West.
As soon as the game began, the Grizzlies star Morante was in great shape. He quickly caused the Warriors to foul and hit two free throws steadily on the free throw line. He then completed the steal, received a pass from his teammate and staged a wonderful air-to-air dunk, which once again showed Morant's amazing waist strength and explosiveness!
And that wasn't all it took, Morant quickly hit a three-pointer and completed the dunk again, scoring seven straight points to lead the Grizzlies to a comeback. And his performance was not over, and then Morant broke through consecutive layups to win, and many of the Warriors' defensive players could not help him.
In the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Warriors 28:24, with Morant shooting 6-of-10 from the field, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free throw line for a total of 15 points and two assists. However, Morant was blocked by the Warriors twice, which was slightly embarrassing. In contrast, the Warriors' star Curry played average in the first quarter, although he grabbed 6 rebounds and gave 4 assists, but only shot 4 of 0, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and only relied on free throws to score 3 points.
