The man has a point. At the end of the day, a loss is a loss for the Grizzlies, regardless of how badly it turned out. As Morant stated, this 51-point loss will quickly be erased if Memphis is able to steal away Game 2 on OKC's home floor on Tuesday.

Ja Morant recorded 22 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and three steals while playing on his sprained right ankle and the Memphis Grizzlies earned the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a convincing 120-106 victory over the visiting Dallas Mavericks in the play-in round on Friday.
