Ja Morant struggled for most of Saturday night before putting the Minnesota Timberwolves away late in the fourth quarter.

Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies took on the New York Knicks on Monday. Heading into the matchup, the Grizzlies had all the momentum as they came from a six-game winning streak.

Nine seconds later, Morant assisted on a basket to Brandon Clarke. Jaren Jackson Jr. made two free throws to get Memphis within two, but it was Morant who scored the final four points of the game.

The Grizzlies (22-11) were without Ja Morant, Santi Aldama, Zach Edey, Marcus Smart and Brandon Clarke. Each of those players has had a hand in the team's strong start this season. Need a break?
