Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant had a little extra motivation for Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, and he made it clear why.
"I don't like them," Morant said after scoring 20 points in a 131-114 win at the FedExForum. "They knocked me out of the playoffs. And then last year we had a game and they came here and popped it on our home floor when I was in street clothes. I wasn't tonight."
Morant played just 24 minutes, leaving in the third quarter because of a right hamstring injury.
