The Memphis Grizzlies started the work week on a high note, as Ja Morant and company rebounded from a road loss to the Washington Wizards last Friday by taking down the Minnesota Timberwolves at home Monday, to the tune of a 125-118 score. The game went to overtime, but when it was all said and done, Morant had the Grizzlies on top to improve their record to 6-4.

Morant was all pumped up by the win, and sounds like he's laser-focused on the upcoming games.

Apart from the win, Morant was also ecstatic over the way he picked up the pieces following a letdown 11-point performance in the loss to Washington. Against the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies point guard dropped 33 points to go along with eight assists and six rebounds in 41 minutes of action.

Morant is having a strong start to the season. Through 10 games, he has put up an average of 26.0 points on 48.5 percent shooting from the field, while also averaging 7.2 assists and 5.6 rebounds. Murray is undoubtedly the franchise cornerstone of the Grizzlies. There are many reasons for Morant to go all out this season, including, of course, his potential to get an extension by the end of the 2021-22 NBA season.

Up next for the Grizzlies is a date with the Charlotte Hornets at home this coming Wednesday.
