Taylor Jenkins thinks Ja Morant uses his body well on drives, and it’s a huge boost for offense because of his unpredictability on drives, and he thinks it makes it tough on defense as well – 5:36 PM

Ja Morant last night:
✅ 37 PTS
✅ 8 AST
✅ 2 STL
Morant has scored at least 30 points 24 times this season, double that of the next-closest player in @Memphis Grizzlies history (Shareef Abdur-Rahim).
He has 33 career 30-point games, one shy of the franchise record held by Abdur-Rahim. pic.twitter.com/qEiLEDpNh0 – 10:41 AM

Felt like late in the third quarter when the Grizzlies scored those last six points that a comeback was very possible. Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. put on a show in that fourth quarter. Grizzlies eliminated a 15-point deficit in a big win.

Ja Morant just took this game over with sheer athleticism, will and skill. Scored 15 of his 37 in the fourth — 10 straight in clutch time — as the Grizzlies stormed back from 9 down entering the final frame to beat the Knicks. – 10:46 PM

Grizzlies up 7 with under 1 minute to play. They trailed by 11 in the fourth quarter.
Jaren Jackson Jr. took over defensively, Ja Morant hit turbo for the offense. That = a thing of beauty for the Grizzlies. – 10:34 PM

More on this storyline
Tim Bontemps: Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said Ja Morant needed to get an extra stretch in the locker room after he had his hip tighten up in the third. Said he’ll be sore tomorrow, but that was what led Morant to be able to come back and play the entire fourth quarter. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / February 25, 2022
Damichael Cole: Ja Morant is officially back pic.twitter.com/hseXFp35zv -via Twitter @DamichaelC / February 16, 2022
Meghan Triplett: Coach Jenkins said Ja Morant is still questionable. He got treatment this morning and will be a game-time decision tonight vs Portland. -via Twitter @Meghan_Triplett / February 16, 2022
