After the disappointing loss handed to them by the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, the Memphis Grizzlies are now on a three-game winning streak. With a 23-13 record, the Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference. They just took down the Sacramento Kings in their last matchup, defeating the Kings 118-108. But what Grizzlies star Ja Morant did post-game ended up winning the hearts of fans on the internet.

Ja Morant had a 35-point outing in their win against the Kings. He paired those 35 points with 8 rebounds and 5 assists for the game. He definitely gave the fans a show for the night. But Morant also ended up making the night special for one young Grizzlies fan in the stands.
