The Lone Rangers today won 104-89 against the Grizzlies, their second win in 10 days. In their last meeting, the Lone Ranger won 112-85 over the Grizzlies.
It is worth mentioning that after entering 2022, the Grizzlies have only lost a total of 3 games, two of which were lost to the Lone Ranger, and the Grizzlies' 11-game winning streak ended with the Lone Rangers. The Lone Ranger's record since 2022 has also been outstanding, losing only two games.
In today's game, the Grizzlies shot just 37.4 percent from the field on 37-of-99 shooting, and 4-of-24 from the three-point range, shooting just 16.7 percent from three-point range. By comparison, the Lone Ranger shot 48.6 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range.
In today's game, Doncic and Morante, the two rising stars, performed very well, Doncic played 37 minutes, 13 of 25 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, 37 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, and only one assist to get a triple-double.
Morant also performed well, playing 41 minutes, shooting 14 of 31, including 0 of 3 from three-point range and 7 of 10 from the free throw line, with 35 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, but unfortunately it became an empty cut.
The last time the two played, Doncic was clearly in the upper hand, with a triple-double of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, while Morant was very average, with only 19 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
In the last two meetings, Doncic has had the last laugh, not only personally not losing to Morant, but also winning both games. In this way, Doncic is still stronger than Morant. Of course, this is also very normal, after all, Doncic entered the NBA a year earlier than Morant, and has been selected for the All-Star starter and the best team in the past two years.
However, this season, it is difficult to say whether Doncic can be selected as an All-Star starter, because in the All-Star vote, he only ranked third in the Western Conference backcourt, while Morant was in second place, and he was much ahead of Doncic. However, this does not mean that Doncic will miss the All-Star start, because there are still media and player votes. Doncic finished second in the Western Conference backcourt during his rookie season and missed out on an All-Star start.
Judging from the performance of the last two meetings, Doncic is indeed more worthy of the All-Star start than Morant, of course, Morant's performance this season is also worthy of the All-Star starter, but it is still a little worse in front of Doncic. But in any case, Morant is also ahead of Doncic in the fan vote, so there is still hope for an All-Star starter.
