Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant bade farewell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the most savage way possible.
After helping the Grizzlies erase another double-digit lead entering the fourth quarter in Game 6 of their playoff series, Morant alongside Dillon Brooks celebrated the victory in style by doing the Griddy dance.
The Grizzlies won 114-106 and secured their ticket to the Western Conference Semifinals against the Golden State Warriors. Sure enough, that's worthy of celebration.

The Griddy was not enough for Ja Morant, though. On Twitter, he posted a photo of a Grizzly bear hunting a wolf–as if saying that the Timberwolves were their prey all along.

For what it's worth, Morant and the Grizzlies have a lot to celebrate and be happy about. First and foremost, they won and got the Timberwolves packing early, so they have the bragging rights.
They also didn't play at their best for the most part, but they were able to win the series by showing their clutch genes and killer instincts. Those traits bode well for their title aspirations, as it could spell the difference between winning and losing as they go deeper in the playoffs.
Memphis now head to the second round brimming with confidence. They face a mighty Golden State Warriors team that has championship experience, but Morant and co. surely won't care.
