The Grizzlies today won 116-108 against the Warriors.
Morant played 36 minutes and shot 11-of-23, including 1-of-4 from three-point range and 6-of-8 from the free throw line, and had 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks. Curry played 38 minutes, shooting 8-of-21, including 2-of-9 from three-point range and 9-of-10 from the free throw line, scoring 27 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.
Although Curry got a triple-double today, his overall performance was not as good as Morant's, especially in key moments. Moreover, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies today, completing their 10-game winning streak, while the Warriors have lost three of their last four games.
After the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors, they won 10 consecutive games, setting a new team record, reaching 29-14, and one more win will surpass the Jazz and rise to third place in the West. The Warriors are currently in second place in the West, leading the Grizzlies by only 2.5 wins.
The Grizzlies have not only won 10 straight, but have also beaten a number of top teams in a 10-game winning streak, so their 10-game winning streak is very high. During a 10-game winning streak, the Grizzlies have beaten strong teams such as the Suns, Nets, Warriors, Lakers, Cavaliers and Clippers, and have also defeated the Lakers twice.
Of these teams, the Suns, Nets and Warriors are currently the strongest teams in the league and have the top records in the East and West. In addition, the Lakers and Clippers are also strong teams, and they can compete for the championship while maintaining their health. To be able to beat these teams to get 10 consecutive wins is really remarkable.
It is worth mentioning that because the Grizzlies have beaten the Lakers twice, even though James can average 34 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in the past 11 games, he still lost to Morant and missed the weekly best, and Morant became the best player of the Western Conference for two consecutive weeks.
Not only in the last 10 games, but in the last 24 games, the Grizzlies have also done well, reaching 20-4, making them the best team in the league in the same period and far ahead of other teams. It is worth mentioning that during Morant's injury suspension, the Grizzlies also made two five-game winning streaks.
