Today, the NBA playoffs continue, with the Memphis Grizzlies going on to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In the first game between the two sides, the Timberwolves have already beaten the Grizzlies to capture the home field advantage of the series. In this way, the Grizzlies must win this game, otherwise it is more psychological pressure to lose two home games in a row and go to the away game.
The core of the Grizzlies is Morant, who continues to show his bravery in this game, sending difficult layups many times and leading the Grizzlies to morale. Since the third quarter, the Grizzlies have pulled away, and the Timberwolves are really having a hard time chasing points.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves had fallen behind by a large margin, the game lost the suspense of victory and defeat, and Morant left work early. Throughout the game, Morant scored a quasi-triple-double of 23 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Grizzlies to a 124-96 victory over the Timberwolves, and the total score was tied 1-1.
Morant actually played less than 30 minutes, and he could have played again to brush the triple-double stats. Morant didn't do that, though, because he felt it was most important to stay healthy. In the third quarter, Morant was pushed to the thigh by Timberwolves' homer Downs in a defensive position and had to rest, ice the injured area.
In the fourth quarter, Morant returned, and by this time he was no longer so desperate because the Grizzlies had no problem winning. The Grizzlies have a big goal next, they are bent on winning the Western Conference championship and even the championship. Morant's body is very important and is a winning vane for the Grizzlies.
'As long as the team can win, my stats are all 0. Morant said so after the game.
