Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies was having some sort of night on Tuesday.
In Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Morant put up 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists.
He came incredibly close to a triple-double, which is a huge feat in the playoffs.
However, his team walked away with the win, 124-96, and that’s really all that matters.
Memphis fans were elated to see their team even the series – and Morant’s daughter was feeling excited too.

Morant’s little girl, Kaari, was seen busting a move with Morant’s father following the big victory.
This is another instance of Morant’s daughter being undeniably cute – she has appeared at a few games this season and has garnered a legion of fans.
However, Tuesday was also an example of the Grizzlies being in fine form and looking more and more like title contenders.
A Balanced Roster
As great as Morant was, he wasn’t alone on his team.
No one topped Morant’s 23 points but Desmond Bane put up 16, Jaren Jackson Jr. made 16, Brandon Clarke created 13 points, as did Xavier Tillman and Ziaire Williams.
This is one of Memphis’ deadliest features: they have a stacked roster that is capable of carrying the team.
Despite what some people say, the Grizzlies are not just The Ja Morant Show – he has a solid supporting cast.
The entire team will need to keep up that consistency in the days ahead if they want to put the Timberwolves away.
That’s especially true if they move onto the second round, where they will likely face off against the Golden State Warriors – another team with a deep roster.
If they keep playing like this, the team could push past the Warriors and possibly even the Suns.
Memphis fans are hoping to see Morant’s daughter dancing all the way to the Finals this year.
