Ja Morant’s record setting night wasn’t enough to overcome the offensive explosion from the Utah Jazz, as the Memphis Grizzlies suffered a 141-129 Game 2 loss on Wednesday.
Morant’s 47 points were the most by any Grizzlies player in a regular season or playoff game, as he’s scored 71 points in his first two career playoff games, the most in the history of the NBA. Dillon Brooks poured in 23 points while Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points with six rebounds.
Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 25 points in his return to action while Mike Conley had 20 points and 15 assists.
