After recording his fifth career triple-double Ja Morant signed two jerseys and gave them away.
One went to his father, signed “Garden Boy.” The other went to Derrick Rose, a player he said paved the way for players like him to be stars in the NBA. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 11:01 PM

He’s only played 20 games as a Knick. pic.twitter.com/8pkUDQZOqz – 10:35 PM

Ja Morant on Derrick Rose: “He really made it to where people believe in guys like me. Coming in, athletic guards, I felt like he was pretty much the one who kind of made it more famous.“

Ja Morant’s postgame presser was awesome, by the way. Stories coming… – 9:45 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Cam Reddish was extremely complimentary of Ja Morant after guarding him for a good portion of tonight: “I rock with Ja’s game,” he said. “He’s a great player.” Was talking about how tough Steven Adams’ screens are, too. “It’s just fun competing against the best players,” he said. – 9:45 PM

Ja Morant said today was the first time in his career that his father asked for his jersey after a game. Said it was special for him to get a triple-double here at Madison Square Garden, saying it was a place he always has held a special feeling for. – 9:02 PM

Jalen Brunson had 30p, 11a & 5r for New York tonight but missed two shots late in the 4th with a chance to win the game as Knicks fall to MEM, 127-123. Ja Morant had 27p, 14a & 10r to lead Grizzlies. NYK (9-11) played relatively well tonight but has lost 5 of its last 6 at home. – 8:49 PM

27/ 14/ 10 in The Garden for JA. That was fun game. Knicks always throw a million looks at Morant and make him be his best. Brunson enormous 4th was mega impressive. – 8:44 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant secured his fifth triple-double of his career, and the Grizzlies got one late stop against Jalen Brunson when they needed it most.
Final: Grizzlies 127 Knicks 123
The Grizzlies are 12-8

Morant goes 1-for-2 at the line. Knicks need a 2 to tie or a 3 to win. – 8:38 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Ja Morant has his first triple-double of the season for the Grizzlies: 27 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.
But he just split a pair of free throws to give the Grizzlies a 125-123 lead with 6 seconds to go. Knicks will get one final shot to tie – or win – this at the buzzer. – 8:38 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant has a triple-double. Big game for 12 today. – 8:37 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Cmon Knicks close this out!!!! – 8:36 PM

If you care to get to your TV — after Ja Morant gives the Grizzlies a 124-123 lead, it’ll me Knicks ball coming out of the timeout with 13.9 seconds to go in regulation. – 8:36 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
What a goofy finish by Morant.
Knicks-Grizzlies has been wild. – 8:36 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Ja Morant got unbelievably lucky there, but the result is still a good one for Memphis: a layup to put the Grizzlies up one with 13.9 to go. Been a very fun evening here at MSG. – 8:35 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Morant with the offensive rebound and the score. Grizzlies back up by 1. Need one stop to win the game. – 8:35 PM
Lang Whitaker @langwhitaker
Jalen Brunson just kicked Dillon’s foot and fouled him out – 8:33 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Memphis foul. Dillon Brooks has fouled out. Knicks going to the line with a chance to take the lead. – 8:32 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Dillon Brooks plays with Ja Morant and Brooks 100% believes he’s the best player on the floor every game.
I mean it with complete sincerity when I say I love it so much. You need guys like that to be a great team. – 8:30 PM

The ways the the Grizz use B. Clarke on offense (frequent lobs at the rim) – is how the Knicks should be using Obi Toppin…
Embarrassing how few alley-oop opportunities Obi gets in half-court sets – 7:58 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant has 13 assists going into the fourth quarter. His career high is 14.
He’s also two rebounds away from a triple-double. – 7:58 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
That was a scary fall for Ja Morant. He looks to be OK. – 7:54 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Now Quickley comes up limping and heads to the bench after trying to guard Morant. – 7:48 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
It takes team defense and Ja can go off for 20 in a quarter at some point, but Quentin Grimes has done a really good job defending him so far. – 7:46 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant is just two rebounds away from a triple-double. Knicks have tried to make him a passer – he’s hitting wide open dudes now. – 7:42 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Fourth foul on Dillon Brooks. Fouls 3 and 4 were tough ones. – 7:38 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Last play of the half was a good example of pick-and-roll communication the defense just has to clean up. JJJ sets a screen for Morant, then slips it; Randle sticks with Morant as if it’s a switch but it’s not. Grimes stays on Morant and Randle doesn’t close out on JJJ. Open 3. – 7:15 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Halftime:
Grizzlies lead Knicks 54-52
Dillon Brooks has 11 points
Ja Morant has eight points, seven assists and five rebounds. Both teams shooting 44%. – 7:14 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Halftime. Grizzlies lead the Knicks 54-52.
• Randle 10-4-2
• Barrett 10-4-2
• Brunson 10-3-5
• Robinson 4 & 3, 3 blks
• Morant 8-5-7
Knicks just 3-for-16 from deep. – 7:13 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Not a great first half by the Grizzlies, but they lead 54-54 because of an advantage behind the arc.
Quite the opposite of recent road games. – 7:13 PM
New York Knicks @nyknicks

📅 On this day in 1963, the @Golden State Warriors Wilt Chamberlain missed his first shot from the field, then made his last 18 in a row in a win over the Knicks.
He owns the four-highest single-game field goal percentages in NBA history (min. 15 FG made).

Knicks have done a very good job on Morant tonight. Forcing him into double teams he can’t escape in the paint. – 7:02 PM

Steven Adams now 50% at the free-throw line this season when shooting with one eye open. – 7:00 PM

Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson just collided under the basket and both went down. Randle got up under his own power but limped straight to the bench. – 6:56 PM

Through one quarter, the Knicks lead the Grizzlies 26-25.

Derrick Rose is in, so we know he’s playing. Now, we wait to see on Cam Reddish – 6:26 PM

If you’re wondering how the Knicks manage the rotation today — Rose and Quickley first two off the bench. – 6:25 PM

Grizzlies seem a little hyped in the first few minutes. Some questionable decisions early on. – 6:18 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Steven Adams should be a horrifying sight for the Knicks. Adams might be the top offensive rebounder in the NBA and there’s an argument to be made the Knicks’ biggest problem is their work on the defensive glass. Naturally, the first bucket of the game is a second-chance one. – 6:14 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Knicks didn’t have Quentin Grimes on opening night, when RJ Barrett primarily manned Ja Morant. Tonight, Grimes is doing it. Did a good job on that initial pick-and-roll action. – 6:13 PM

If Brunson plays, we’ll get our first glimpse of what Thibs does with the rotation crunch.
Does Grimes or Reddish start? Does Sims get minutes? If so, does he eat into Hart’s or Mitch’s or both? 11-man rotation again? How do Grimes/Reddish/Rose/Barrett affect Quickley? – 4:42 PM

Memphis just held an opponent under 30 percent shooting for the 2nd time in 4 games. This isn’t Penny Hardaway’s most talented team but it’s shaping up to be my favorite of his teams because they know exactly who they are already. Helluva response to Thursday’s heartbreaker. – 12:59 PM
