On April 27, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, in the youth army showdown, the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves 111:109 at home, and won the battle of Tianwangshan, leading 3:2! The final quarter of the game played a very exciting showdown, Morant first scored five consecutive points to reverse the point difference by 3 points, then Edwards equalized the score with three points, and Morant broke through the difficult layup in the last 4 seconds to complete the kill!
In this game, Morant is indeed one of the masterpieces of his career, and his death slot + breakthrough kill is indeed a lament for everyone. But in the fourth quarter of this game, in addition to Morant, there is another player who is very important, that is, Brandon Clark, without Clark's enthusiasm, this game the Grizzlies want to complete a reversal is really unlikely!
Clark came off the bench for 37 minutes, shooting 9-of-14 from the field and 3-of-7 from the free throw line, scoring 21 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block! In the crucial fourth quarter, Clark played 11 minutes and had 5 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, and seven of those 10 rebounds were frontcourt rebounds! At the most critical moment of the game, he used his enthusiasm to fight for the rebound in the frontcourt, assisted Morant to complete the three-point shooting, and helped the Grizzlies complete the rebound!
Clark grabbed 9 frontcourt rebounds in this game, this data is really scary, to know that the Timberwolves only grabbed 6 frontcourt rebounds in this game, this set of data comparison can see Clark's frontcourt rebounding intensity in the game!
For the Grizzlies, although Morant is star-studded and scores key killer goals, Clark's rebounding and secondary offensive scoring are really worthy of praise from fans! And Clark's 21 points in this game is also his second off-the-bench appearance in the playoffs this season to score 20+ points, and he also became the first player in Grizzlies history to score 20+ off the bench multiple times in the playoffs!
