Ja Morant scored 31 points, including the game’s final seven, and Desmond Bane had 27 points and a career-high 16 rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Dallas Mavericks 122-111 on Friday night.

Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant admits to playing through pain in recent win against the Mavericks while making a confession on live television.

Ja Morant is feeling like himself again after dropping 31 points in the Memphis Grizzlies' 122-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks."A little bit of Ja, the old Ja," Morant told reporters postgame Friday,

Ja Morant put up arguably his best performance of the season this past Friday when the Memphis Grizzlies defeated a shorthanded Dallas Mavericks team 122-111.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant showed Kyrie Irving some love after the Mavericks star sustained a season-ending knee injury.

Ja Morant scored 31 points (24 in the second half) to help the Grizzlies end their four-game losing streak. Desmond Bane also had a big night: 27 points, a career-high 16 rebounds and six assists.

The Mavericks were engaged in a tight slugfest with the struggling Grizzlies well into the final minutes of the game. Fans celebrated as two-way guard Brandon Williams and Naji Marshall produced career nights, but the Mavericks couldn’t overcome Memphis’ star duo of Ja Morant and Desmond Bane.
