On April 22, Beijing time, although Morant was repeatedly provoked by Beverley, and this game mo let him play 40 minutes and 33 seconds, only 18 of 5 iron crosshairs, including 1 of 3 outside three points, plus 5 of 10 free throws, but still bombed 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists of the triple-double data, plus the defensive end contributed 1 steal 3 blocks, as well as 7 turnovers and 4 fouls, plus a positive or negative value of up to +20 in the game, helping the Grizzlies defeat the Grizzlies with a 26-point reversal.
It is worth mentioning that Morant has created a number of records in this game:
For one, Morant reached his first career playoff triple-double, and he was only one rebound away from reaching a triple-double in his last game.
Second, Morant achieved a total of five career triple-doubles, four in the regular season and his first triple-double in the playoffs.
Third, Morant won the Grizzlies' first playoff-double in history.
In the last playoff game, Morant was once limped by the opponent to the thigh, resulting in Morant playing less than 30 minutes before clocking out of work, contributing 23+9+10 data to leave work early, only 1 rebound, regrettably missing the Grizzlies' first playoff triple-double in history.
But now Morant successfully made up for such a regret, he also played a low-open high performance, facing the Timberwolves' first attack difficult to suppress, especially Beverly's start to play chicken blood generally hot state, Morant instead of a slow start into a downturn. Morant had only 2-of-7 shooting stars in the first half, contributed 5+3+5 stats in 18 minutes, and was once humiliated by Beverley's "you're too small" gesture.
Morant's form gradually picked up in the second half, and even though the target star of 3 of 11 in the second two quarters was still not good, he used shooting and free throws to get 11 points in the second half to pick up. More critically, Morant led the team with excellent organization to play a wave of 21-0 equalization point difference, especially the repeated three-point shooting of Bain in the line.
Bever used provocation to humiliate Morant, but Morant responded with a triple-double statistic, especially the plus-minus +20 all-game high, which also proved that in addition to attacking, he can also use the organization of tandem team attacks to help the team win.
