Morant is now averaging 27.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 47.5% from the field in his first two games.
With the victory, the Grizzlies improved to 8-19 in their first 27 games, which has them as the 13th seed in the Western Conference.
They are in the middle of a two-game winning streak and are 4-6 over their last ten games.
