Ja Morant broke out with a huge game for the Memphis Grizzlies in a 117-112 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors.
Morant, who averaged only 1.2 threes made per game during the regular season, sunk five threes in the play-in win. He was 14-of-29 overall for a team-high 35 points. He made a pair of floaters in the final minute of overtime to help seal the win.
So how did Morant react on Twitter? Let’s just say he took a moment to enjoy himself.
