In addition to Morant's shot, the Grizzlies had a commanding 144-93 victory over Golden State.

With the win, they improved to 19-9 in their first 28 games of the season, which has them as the second seed in the Western Conference.

The Grizzlies are 3.0 games back of the OKC Thunder for first.

Via Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian: "Grizzlies making the rare exception, blasting Whoop That Trick as they blowout the Warriors by 50 in the regular season.

What a night at FedExForum."

The Grizzlies will play their next game on Saturday evening when they visit Jalen Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena in Georiga.

Morant is in his sixth NBA season (all with the Grizzlies).

He only appeared in nine games last season due to injury (and suspension).
