Ja Morant celebrates (Reuters)
A huge show was recorded tonight (between Thursday and Friday) when Memphis ran over Milwaukee 101:142 in the top meeting between the teams from the West and the East. J. Morant who excelled with a triple double (25 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds) stung the opponent from Wisconsin: “When teams meet us, they should come ready to go out and play.”
The star, who became the first Memphis player in history to complete a triple-double even before the fourth quarter, added: “We have several players who can score in any situation, if you look for them, you will have to write down every name on the list. We feel like we’re going to take that step like we had last year and we won 10 games in a row. We are flowing and playing well now.”
coach memphis, Taylor Jenkins, praised the defense and said: “I don’t think it’s anything noisy, we did a really good job of keeping them out of the paint.” on the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had a big part in the defeat, said: “They played very well. They ran, their pace was really fast, they just played excellent basketball.”
in another game Tyler Hero Exploded and recorded a personal record of 41 points and 10 three-pointers in the Miami Heat’s 108:111 victory over the Houston Rockets. The star became the fourth Heat player in history to hit 10 3-pointers in a game and the first to do so since Duncan Robinson in 2019, this after just yesterday he tied a career high with 35 points and set a career high of 9 3-pointers, which he obviously improved tonight.
“I didn’t know the record for three-pointers until the game against Oklahoma, so I scored 9 and they told me I was missing one,” said the star after the game. “I didn’t come today with the goal of comparing it, I just tried to throw from the three, I think it helps.” coach miami, Erik Spoelstra, said about Hero: “He throws well, he just throws brilliantly. He can do it while dribbling or you catch him.”
