Ja Morant Makes History in Grizzlies vs. Lakers Game

Star of the Memphis Grizzlies Ja Morant produced a historic third quarter on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Morant established a Grizzlies franchise record for the most points in a quarter with 28 points in only the third quarter. In this third quarter against Los Angeles, Morant was virtually unstoppable, aiding his Grizzlies to get some separation from the Lakers in a game that had been back-and-forth the whole night. He proceeded to lift and finish over all defenders within the paint, and the Lakers were helpless to stop him. The Lakers had been doing well, as was already noted, to keep this game close without LeBron James, but Morant's outburst in the third quarter gave the Grizzlies a double-digit advantage. This was always going to be a challenging game for the Lakers without LeBron James, but it grew even tougher with Morant putting up a record third frame. Morant, who is still in the early stages of his career, has a lengthier highlight reel than guys who have played the game for a lot longer. But more essential for Morant and the Grizzlies was the effect this had on the final score. This quarter against the Lakers will go right into the centre of that career mixtape. The Grizzlies could use all the buckets that Morant can offer them in their back-and-forth battle with the Lakers. The Lakers responded effectively to this outburst from Morant to open the fourth quarter, once more reducing the deficit and keeping the game intriguing.
