Ja Morant hits game winner after Anthony Edwards ties game
Ja Morant has morphed into a superstar right in front of everyone. Over a five year span, Ja Morant has gone from being a virtual unknown to the NBA’s second draft pick. From there, Ja Morant became the Rookie of the Year. The Memphis Grizzlies drafted Ja Morant and he has given them their first winning season in four years. After that, Ja Morant led them to a tie for the most wins ever, and their highest playoff seeding.
Ja Morant is the leader of a new Memphis Grizzlies era. A decade ago, the Grizzlies put themselves on the map as the “Grit N Grind” team. That squad had some good teams and gave the Golden State Warriors a real scare during their first title run. Unfortunately, that Memphis Grizzlies era saw the team peak in 2013, when they made the Western Conference Finals. This year, Ja Morant led the Grizzlies, and this team is one that some say can win the championship.
Ja Morant has played an MVP caliber season, but he only won Most Improved Player. In the playoffs, Ja Morant has played well, but the Grizzlies have struggled. Playing the energetic Minnesota Timberwolves, the Grizzlies lost Game 1. In Game 3, Ja Morant helped lead the Grizzlies to a 26 point rally to win. Last night, the Grizzlies trailed big, but overcame. Anthony Edwards hit a game-tying three pointer. That was no pressure for Ja Morant, as he won the game on the other end.
