In a shocking turn of events, the Memphis Grizzlies squandered a staggering 29-point lead after star player Ja Morant suffered a devastating injury, ultimately falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-108 in Game 3. The Grizzlies were dominating the game, leading by 27 points with just three minutes left in the third quarter. However, everything changed when Morant took a hard fall, leaving fans and teammates alike holding their breath.

As the Thunder mounted an incredible comeback, fueled by standout performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and a game-changing effort from Alex Caruso, the momentum shifted dramatically. Caruso’s four steals and relentless hustle were instrumental in turning the tide, as OKC capitalized on Memphis’s offensive drought.

Will they be able to regroup and stave off a potential sweep, or is this the beginning of a heartbreaking collapse? Fans across the league are left on the edge of their seats, eager to see if the Grizzlies can bounce back from this devastating loss and reclaim their momentum.
