Similar to Game 1, the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies traded haymakers in a thriller in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series. However, instead of Klay Thompson coming through with a clutch jumper late, it was Ja Morant with the final say in Game 2.
The Grizzlies budding superstar dropped a red-hot 47 points on 15-of-31 shooting from the floor with eight boards, eight assists and three steals in 41 minutes. Morant also drilled five triples on 12 attempts from deep against the Warriors in Game 2.
Behind Morant’s performance, the Grizzlies notched the series at 1-1 with a 106-101 win in Game 2.
