Ja Morant's historic first half carries Grizzlies to comfortable win over Magic

In addition, Morant joins Fred Van Vleet, Jrue Holiday and Tyrese Haliburton as the only four players since 1996-97 with at least 20 points, 10 assists, three three-pointers and zero turnovers in a single half, per SB Nation's Shawn Coleman.

This is the fourth consecutive game the Grizzlies have led by at least 16 points, even though they are just 2-2 in those four contests. However, it is a huge step in the right direction for a Grizzlies team that had lost seven of its last nine coming into Sunday.

It wasn't just Morant, either, as four of Memphis' five starters scored in double figures. Forward Jaren Jackson Jr. added 17 points (7-of-15 FG) and center Jock Landale tacked on 21 points (9-of-11 FG) and eight rebounds off the bench.

As of the Grizzlies' win on Sunday, they still have some work to do as the 10th seed in the Western Conference. With that said, if this is the version of Morant they are going to get on a nightly basis, there is no reason they cannot find themselves back in the thick of the playoff race and start stringing some wins together.
