The Memphis Grizzlies, third in the West, had a great time with the Orlando Magic, last in the Eastern Defense, a 135-115 victory that still holds the nail of Ja Morant, author of 33 points in three quarters. Saturday.
The young team from Memphis, also led by their son Jaren Jackson (21 points, 6 rebounds), did not have to impose their talent. It was natural for him to speak out against a battle but an outdated Orlando formation.
Like Morant, who, like every one of his outings, stood out with one of his spring dunks whose secret he has. In the third ten minutes, he smashed the ball into the hoop after changing direction to a double support. A particularly difficult move to execute.
He then went to former Lakers idol Magic Johnson, making a blind pass (7 in total), after passing the ball behind his back, to Jair Williams who sent him into the air for the dunk (alley oup) by De’Anthony Melton.
The Grizzlies then had a 31-point lead, the largest in a game with full control.
Next stop on the way to Memphis will be Los Angeles, with a meeting with the Clippers on Tuesday.
