Ja Morant’s 24 points in the 4th quarter sets a new Grizzlies franchise Playoff record for points in any quarter, previously held by Morant with 18.

With his third career Playoff game of 45 points tonight, Ja Morant is now tied with LeBron James with the most 45+ point Playoff games before the age of 24.

Anthony Davis is the fourth player since 1973, when blocks were first recorded, to record 65+ points, 35+ rebounds, and 15 or more blocks over their first three Playoff games, joining:
Tim Duncan (April 20-27, 2002)

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (2x – April 10-15, 1979, April 20-24, 1977)

Ja Morant (23y 256d) is the 3rd youngest player in NBA History to record 45 points and 10 assists in a game, trailing Luka Doncic (22y 98d) and Trae Young (22y 277d).

    thought the thumbnails were based on who was the most dominant for the game, but they seem to be simping lebron

    lebron was not highest in points, rebounds or assists for the lakers, and anthony davis had 8 more rebounds and 6 more points, only 3 less assists

    I hate this Memphis team so seeing my team really want to go and block ja morant makes me soooooo happy he won’t be trying his fancy little dunks over that brick wall anymore that is AD 2:50

    Takeaways. Lakers are the best defensive team currently in the playoffs. Austin Reaves is going to get a bag this off-season. Ja Morant can get really hot from deep. Refs are very whistle happy this playoffs compared to previous years, Ja Morant had 14 attempts alone.

    This is what happens when you poke a bear! Dillon Brooks the clown really had to poke on the bear and then leaves his team by themselves (got ejected)…😂
