The Memphis Grizzlies crushed Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday to continue their winning streak, and Ja Morant couldn't be prouder of his team.
Morant is still sidelined for the Grizzlies as he recovers from a knee injury, but despite his absence, Memphis remains competitive and has now won four straight games–all without their All-Star guard.
After cruising past the Bucks 127-102, Morant shared a rather hyped reaction to their winning streak. He also couldn't hide his delight as the Grizzlies tighten their grip for the second seed in the West. With the way things are looking, they could end up having homecourt advantage for the rest of the playoffs unless they play the Phoenix Suns–who have the best record in the NBA.

While a lot of people see the Grizzlies' winning streak as a knock on Ja Morant, with many saying the team are better and can do just fine without him, it certainly doesn't affect the young star. He is as supportive as ever for the team, a trait Memphis has highlighted throughout the season.
The Grizzlies want to see each other succeed, and that much is clear with the chemistry and camaraderie they have shown.
Memphis lacks playoff experience, but they are proving that they can go toe-to-toe with the top dogs like the Bucks. Their confidence is at an all-time high, which makes them even more dangerous.
When Morant returns to the court and be at 100 percent, there is no doubt the Grizzlies are going to be scarier than ever.
