The Grizzlies star struggled to score again in Game 6, posting just 17 points. But, he did dish out 11 assists and still made his impact felt. Memphis showed just how resilient they really are all series long by constantly fighting back from deficits and shocking the Timberwolves.  Ja also had some fun doing the Griddy after taking down Minny:

Now, they have a date set with the high-flying Golden State Warriors, who just knocked off the Denver Nuggets in five games. This should be an absolute battle for the Grizzlies but Morant will need to be better, averaging just 21.5 points in the first round. But, he did dish out 10.5 dimes and collect 8.7 rebounds.

The Grizzlies are a young squad. However, they're showing a ton of fight and confidence. It won't be so easy to come back from 20 points down against Steph Curry and the Dubs though, which means they must bring in from Game 1 and keep the intensity up.
