The Grizzlies today won 116-108 at home against the Warriors for a 10-game winning streak.
After 10 consecutive wins, the Grizzlies' record reached 29-14, continuing to rank fourth in the West, but there is no longer a win difference with the Jazz in third place in the West, and one more win will surpass the Jazz and rise to third in the West.
And the gap between the Grizzlies and the Suns and the Warriors is also narrowing, and it's expected to continue to get closer to the two teams with the best records in the West. After losing to the Grizzlies today, the Warriors' record came to 30-10, losing to the Suns with 31 wins and 9 losses, falling to second place in the West. The Warriors have also performed badly in the last 4 games, with only one win.
In today's game, facing the first point guard in the league today, Morant, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, played a very good performance, playing 36 minutes, shooting 11 of 23, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks.
By comparison, Curry played 38 minutes today, shooting 8-of-21, including 2-of-9 from three-point range and 9-of-10 from the free throw line, with 27 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals. Although Curry got a triple-double, from a statistical point of view, Morant is not lost to Curry, and the most important thing is that Morant led the Grizzlies to defeat the Warriors and won 10 consecutive wins.
The Grizzlies can win 10 consecutive games, which is inseparable from Morant, although the Grizzlies have also won five consecutive games twice when Morant is injured, but this does not mean that the Grizzlies can do without Morant. In this 10-game winning streak, Morant's personal performance is indeed very powerful, averaging 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and has become the western conference player of the week for two consecutive weeks, and before that, Morant had not yet become the best of the week.
It is worth mentioning that in the past 11 games, James has averaged 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game, which is much better than Morant, but he is not as good as Morant, mainly because the Lakers' record is not strong, and it is also because the Grizzlies' 10-game winning streak has won two of the Lakers.
The progress of the Grizzlies and Morant this season is there for all to see, and if they continue like this, Morant will become an MVP candidate, and may even compete with Curry for the league's first point guard.
