After losing game 1, Memphis Grizzlies understood that they didn’t have many chances left. That’s why Ja Morant and his teammates played their best in game 2 (4/5 Vietnam time). Despite facing countless difficulties due to the uniformity of their opponents, the “Bears” still knew how to overcome them to win a dramatic 106-101 victory.

Ja Morant played a great game

The match opened with a stormy attack from the Memphis Grizzlies. With full support from the home crowd, the home team’s young players rushed to the away team’s basket with the desire to reclaim the hot debt in game 1. Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 14 points respectively. and 10 points in the first quarter. However, the finishing performance was not high, causing the representative on the Mississippi River side to only lead the opponent by 5 points before entering the second half.

The scenario of the second half and the beginning of the third half were still quite similar when the Memphis Grizzlies tried to attack but could not completely finish off the opponent. Because after the first half, Jaren Jackson Jr. could no longer maintain good form and provided support for Ja Morant, so he played more “shyly”. It’s almost like the defender wearing shirt number 12 has to try his best to carry the whole team.

47 points is a personal record in the Playoffs for young star number 12

Just waiting for that, the Warriors players found a way to get back into the match at the end of the third quarter. The acceleration time of the representative on the Gulf coast is truly scary. They equaled the hosts’ 11-point gap and then took a 4-point lead in the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry is still the most prominent factor under coach Steve Kerr with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.

However, it is a pity for the Warriors that their collective efforts went down the drain because of one individual. And that person is none other than Ja Morant. The genius wearing the number 12 shirt was truly the one who changed the entire outcome of the match with his unbelievable performance in the final round. The boy born in 1999 tirelessly attacked the basket and scored 18 points in just 9 minutes of play in the 4th quarter.

The fact that none of the starting players scored points in the final round was not a problem for Ja as he did all their work. Even in the last 2 minutes of the match, the former Rookie of the Year alone brought home 10 points to bring the host back from the dead. The series officially returns to the starting point.
