Ja Morant and Jayson Tatum
On Monday night when the Boston Celtics played the Memphis Grizzlies, Jayson Tatum and Ja Morant faced off as two of the NBA’s top players in the matchup. In a hilarious moment, Morant was seen attempting to manipulate Tatum’s mind before the game-winning pair of clutch free shots in a matchup between two of the league’s top superstars.
In their final game of the current road trip, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics took the court against the Memphis Grizzlies after delivering the New York Knicks a humiliating loss at the MSG. The Celtics, following a two-game unbeaten streak squared off against Ja Morant and company, who were coming off three straight victories. Deuce Tatum unknowingly boosted his father and the Celtics in extending their winning streak since there was some humorous conversation in the closing minutes of the game.
Morant made a desperate attempt to save the Grizzlies by resorting to trash-talking. Tatum just missed two crucial free shots, so it shouldn’t have been that difficult to get into his thoughts. Tatum, fortunately, shut down Morant with a solid response before to his free throws. After the game, Ja was asked about the moment by a reporter and he stated: “I was trying to talk him to miss a free throw late. He told me, he gotta make it back home to put Deuce to sleep. That was pretty much it.”
Boston takes down Memphis in a neck-and-neck game
On Monday night, the Boston Celtics prevailed 109-106 over the Memphis Grizzlies thanks in large part to the 39 points from Jayson Tatum made a pair of clutch free throws in the closing seconds and had 25 points in the opening half alone. For the Celtics, who shot 12 of 37 from beyond the arc, Jaylen Brown had 21 points and nine rebounds but only made one of his six 3-point attempts. Marcus Smart and Al Horford both scored 15 points and Smart also had 12 assists.
Desmond Bane added 19 points, Dillion Brooks had 13 and John Konchar had 12 points for Memphis in addition to Morant’s 30 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. The key for the majority of the game was Boston’s shifting defensive approach which had several guys protecting Morant who shot 10 of 24 from the field and 5 of 12 from beyond the arc. The Grizzlies used a different closing lineup against the C’s and Steven Adams’ was unavailable, which led to their defeat.
