Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies have won for the tenth time in a row in the NBA and remain the best-formed basketball team in the league.
The top team in the Western Conference won 136-106 against the struggling Phoenix Suns, with Morant recording 29 points. The Suns, again without injured top performers Chris Paul and Devin Booker, lost their ninth game in ten games. Like the Denver Nuggets, the Grizzlies now have 30 wins and 13 losses this season, no team in the Western Conference is better.
Tatum throws 51 points for the Celtics
Only the Boston Celtics have more wins this season in the NBA. The leaders of the Eastern Conference won his away game at the Charlotte Hornets 130:118 and benefited from a great Jayson Tatum. The 24-year-old excelled with his season bests of 51 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. It was the seventh win in a row for the Celtics.
Chaser Milwaukee Bucks smashed the Indiana Pacers 132-119 in game three without Giannis Antetokounmpo, defending third place in the East. Jrue Holiday had a season best of 35 points.
Thanks to 41 points from Steph Curry, defending champions Golden State Warriors recorded a 127:118 against the Washington Wizards. The team is still just outside the direct playoff places.
