With under a minute to play in regulation, the Washington Wizards were looking for one final surge to propel themselves to victory. Their hopes were shattered, however, after rookie sensation Ja Morant heaved a bomb from WAY downtown to ice the game for his Memphis Grizzlies.
In what was an ugly, slug it out type of game for both squads, Washington controlled the tempo for over three quarters of action, but couldn’t seal the deal and stifle a young Memphis team that shot an abysmal 15% from three-point territory.
Despite the loss, there were a few positives amongst the obvious negatives for this Washington Wizards team.
