Miles Bridges has already had a breakout stretch to start the season, now it might be time for another Spartan to have his star-making moment. On Monday, Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Memphis Grizzlies faced the Utah Jazz, and Jaren Jackson Jr. almost single-handedly earned Memphis the win at the end.
With 14 seconds left in the game, Jackson won a tip against the massive Rudy Gobert. From there, Ja Morant drove down the lane, drawing the defenders away from the perimeter, which freed up Jaren Jackson Jr. for an open shot. Jackson sunk the three-pointer to put the Grizzlies up 119-118 with 5 seconds left.
