?Scottie-Led Bulls When Michael Jordan Retired??: NBA World Goes Gaga as Giannis Antetokounmpo?s Bucks Get Blown Out by Grizzlies Without Ja Morant

Ja Morant has been brilliant for the Memphis Grizzlies this season. Subsequently, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been exceptional all season long as well. The two sensations of the season have been in top-notch form. Few players have outperformed these two. However, we could not see the two battle it out on the court against each other on Saturday night.

Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks visited the Memphis Grizzlies. As such, the Grizzlies showed their utter dominance and proved why they are the team with the second best record (52-23) in the league. Consequently, they cleaned out Giannis? Bucks 127-102.

Despite Giannis? 30 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, the Bucks fell way short. Although the Grizzlies were without their young protagonist Ja Morant yet they fashioned a comfortable victory. Even without their star man, they were decisive, convincing and proved how good a team they are. It is shocking how successful the Grizzlies have been even without one of the best players this season. Following the game, NBA coach Stan Van Gundy showed his astonishment on Twitter.

It is true that Ja Morant is one of the most talented players in the NBA right now. However, the Grizzlies are not completely dependent on him. Ja is still only 22 years old and will chase to find his prime in the years to come. However, the team without Ja lifts their game.

With Ja, the game is often played around him. But against the Bucks, Memphis had 5 different players with points in double digits. This only shows their versatility and ability to blow out oppositions.

Whatever might explain Grizzlies form with and without Ja Morant, it?s working. Currently, the Memphis Grizzlies are 2nd seed. They have already qualified for the playoffs. And they will hope that even with Ja Morant, the entire team can turn up and play their best basketball in pursuit of the NBA championship.
