Game 5 between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Minnesota Timberwolves was a very important game, as the winner will not only get the lead but also gets the advantage in the series, that they will be just one win away from sealing the round one and moving for the second phase of the postseason. Moreover, the game was full of thrill but still, the Grizzlies managed to edge out the Wolves by 111-109 at home.

Meanwhile, the game was full of entertainment with some fire shooting comments from two big players of the Grizzlies and Wolves. It all started, when 4:31 minutes were remaining in the game and Beverley shot a scoop that successfully went in, so while returning to his side of the court he didn’t fail to tease Morant as he signaled ‘small’ on him.

We all know Morant never fails to answer the opponents, in his style who try to move under his skin and the same thing happened after Beverley’s ‘small’ taunt. In just the next possessions, Morant took the control of the ball and single-handedly scored a floater shot, and returned the favor to the Timberwolves guard by using ‘small’ action by hands. Moreover, it was JA Morant who made the last laugh.
