This was supposed to be an easy game for the Los Angeles Clippers. Coming off back-to-back wins in the midst of a four-game home-stand against favorable opposition; this was almost a no-brainer. Except of course: nobody told the Memphis Grizzlies. The struggling young team exhibited the full range (literally) of their youthful potential; to torch the championship-contender Clippers in a 140-114 blowout.
And the best part is: they did it from start to finish. Coming out in 'unconscious' fashion from three-point range; they blitzed the Clippers on their own home-court the likes of which have never been seen before. When the dust had settled; veteran 6'6" small-forward Jae Crowder had tuned it up to 27 points; lanky Jaren Jackson Jr had torched up for 24; and Rookie-of-the-Year-elect Ja Morant and explosive shooting guard Dillon Brooks racked up 22 each. It was simply a stunning display of firepower you just did not expect to see.
