While the Wolves dominated a good part of the match against the Grizzlies, it was Ja Morant’s teammates who won on arrival. Something to delight the leader, especially after the lack of respect from his opponents. His troll after the game? Masterful.
After winning Game 2, the Grizzlies had to travel to Minnesota for an important Game 3. The winner could take the advantage in this series, and incidentally fill up with confidence. For three quarters, Anthony Edwards’ teammates put on a show, like Patrick Beverley. But a match is 48 minutes, not 36.
Le karma punit les Wolves !
Result, Ja Morant and his family took advantage of the last 12 to wake up, and completely knock out Minnesota with a 37-12 run. Final victory 104-95, which allows Memphis to have a smile. This is even more true after this video of Karl-Anthony Towns, in the middle of a match, while his team dominated.

We’re in Minnesota now. Like I told the media, it’s cool, now we can go home.
Playing smart when the game is not over? Bad idea for Towns, as Wolves lost at home. Something to amuse Morant, who saw the sequence:

We’re in Minnesota now ????
A simple smiley that says a lot about Ja’s satisfaction, and for good reason, the point guard finishes as a bonus with a triple-double: a first for his team.

Ja Morant tonight: 16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists. It’s the first playoff triple-double in Grizzlies history.
The victory, the troll and a record: a successful evening for Ja Morant, who can smile. Be careful though, the series is not over, since there are still two victories to go. It starts from Game 4, just to shut up Karl-Anthony Towns.
