Shaedon Sharpe and Drew Eubanks were reminded of the first lesson of playing the Grizzlies: Don’t try to jump with Ja Morant.
But we may want to add “Don’t try to jump with Sharpe” to the list of rules for playing the Trail Blazers. Morant threw down a massive poster dunk early against Portland, but then Sharpe answered right back.
Ja and Shaedon Sharpe traded HUGE dunks on this sequence 🤯

NBA basketball is fantastic.
Memphis went on to win the game 119-109. The Grizzlies remain the two seed in the West, two games back of the No.1 seed Nuggets with three to play — not mathematically impossible, but it’s likely the Grizzlies will finish No.2. Portland has been eliminated from the postseason and has shut down Damian Lillard for the season as the focus in the Pacific Northwest turns to the draft.
