Are the Grizzlies ready for recovery? The answer is “yes”, and a few minutes will have sufficed to have proof of this in this trip to Detroit. In four minutes, Ja Morant’s teammates sign a 12-0 and they even allow themselves to put on a show with Ja Morant of course but also Santi Aldama for the tap dunk (16-8). Dillon Brooks is also there and the gap already reaches +15 after eight minutes.
Opposite, the Pistons are already in the ropes and the rookie Jaden Ivey is covered by Ja Morant. The sequel is a Morant show that could fill a Top 10 on its own.
At halftime, and in favor of an 8-0, the Pistons had limited the damage (60-53). But on returning from the locker room, Ja Morant resumed his recital to pass an 11-0 and calm Detroit’s comeback attempts (81-70). In four minutes, the All-Star leader scored 13 points and Taylor Jenkins can already call back his incumbents three minutes from the end of the 3rd quarter.
The Memphis substitutes even take care of increasing the gap, and the gap reaches +15 thanks to Tyus Jones. Opposite, the rookies Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivey show up, but the Grizzlies win easily: 126-111.
