Grizzlies' Late Push Sinks Cavs
The Cavaliers are about to embark on their second and final West Coast trip of the season – taking on some of the Conference’s heaviest hitters. On Tuesday night, they got a sneak preview, taking on the hottest team in the West.
The Cavaliers got their point guard back, but couldn’t quite close the deal – with a costly late turnover sealing the deal as Ja Morant outdueled Darius Garland to take a 110-106 thriller on Tuesday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
In a contest that was tight throughout, Evan Mobley’s hook shot with 36 seconds to play tied the affair at 104-apiece. Morant gave the Grizzlies a two-point edge with a floater on Memphis’ next possession.
