The Memphis Grizzlies are a difficult team to explain. Those from Tennessee are the great revelation of the NBA season, made up of a squad full of young promises and second in the Western Conference with an impressive winning record (55 in 78 games). However, everything changed on March 20, when His star, point guard Ja Morant, was injured, who averaged almost 28 points per game. Although it seemed that the team would notice the absence of its leader, his response has been undeniable: he has won seven out of seven.

The last victory was last morning, against the Phoenix Suns (114-122) no less, the best team of the current season. When the game was entering its outcome, the Spanish Santi Aldama finished one of the plays of the game: He faked from the triple, faced the hoop and finished with a two-handed mate and past the hoop.
His teammates on the bench could not contain their ecstasy and almost ended up on the field. In addition to the play and the victory, Aldama had one of his most complete games in the NBA, with 12 points and five rebounds in 21 minutes.
The canary, debutant this year, has returned to have minutes after several weeks assigned to the development league. A campaign of ups and downs in terms of protagonism and acclimatization, since the 21-year-old power forward is in one of the great projects of European basketball and it seems that the Grizzlies are in no hurry with him.
