Take a bow, Ja Morant! The Memphis Grizzlies superstar headlined in what is perhaps the greatest playoff moment in franchise history. Down by as much as 26-points at one point, Morant willed the team back into the game to lead them to a Game 3 victory. It's just another story to add to the team's epic run this season.

Along the way, Morant bagged himself an epic achievement in franchise history. Ja Morant got the Grizzlies' first ever triple-double in playoff history by scoring 16 points along with 10 rebounds and 10 assists. It's one hell of a performance for the young star in his first taste of the NBA postseason. (via StatMuse)

While Morant struggled to make buckets for himself (shooting an atrocious 5-18 from the field), the Grizzlies star made up for it in other ways. He showed off his playmaking abilities, and pushed the pace by grabbing rebounds and going full speed. It's nice to see Morant, who is known more as a scorer, impact the game in more ways than one.

However, one could argue that Morant wasn't the best player on the court that game. That honors goes to another breakout player this year in Desmond Bane. The young Grizzlies star showed out by breaking the franchise record for most threes in a playoff game with seven.

After losing homecourt advantage in Game 1 of the series, the Grizzlies are primed to deliver the killing blow to the Timberwolves. Sending their opponents to a 3-1 hole would be a massive confidence boost for this team, should they be able to get there.
