The Memphis Grizzlies handed Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets with their third consecutive loss on Monday and this was thanks in large part to another offensive explosion by Grizzlies star Ja Morant. The 22-year-old went off for 36 points against KD and his Nets as he led Memphis to a 118-104 statement win.

After the game, Morant took to Twitter to share his one-word reaction to yet another strong effort from him:

Morant missed a couple of weeks in November and December due to injury and COVID, and he is now clearly making up for lost time. In his last three games before Monday's heroics, the 6-foot-3 point guard has been averaging 34.7 points (on 55.7 percent shooting), 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals, while also connecting on 4.0 triples per game on a mind-blowing 80.0-percent clip.

Ja is likely going to fall back down to earth sooner rather than later, but this wasn't the case on Monday. The Grizzlies are surging and they've now won five straight games. At 24-14, Memphis has strengthened their grip at the fourth spot in the West, with the fifth-seeded Denver Nuggets now 4.5 games behind them.

Morant will look to keep his hot streak going on Tuesday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a back-to-back set.
