On Monday night, the Brooklyn Nets had a chance to become the first NBA team in 2024-25 to notch a season-series sweep. Not bad for a 3-4 team more concerned with their future than their present.
After the Nets defeated the Western Conference’s Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, Ja Morant and Zach Edey were looking for revenge at the Barclays Center, and both did their thing early.
Edey offensively rebounded and dunked his way to the best performance of his young career, 25-and-12 with four blocks, while Ja Morant 360-scooped his way to a highlight-filled 25/5/9 performance that was hardly about the numbers.
