Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies score: Ja Morant leads Memphis to crucial win over Minnesota in Game 5

The Memphis Grizzlies have taken a 3-2 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves in their best-of-seven series thanks to a Ja Morant layup in the closing seconds of regulation on Tuesday night. The recently names Most Improved Player of the year was able to secure the game-winning basket right before the buzzer sounded at FedEx Forum to send the crowd into a frenzy and put Memphis one win away from a berth in the Western Conference semifinals. 

Morant was spectacular for the Grizzlies finishing 30 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists and three steals. Desmond Bane was just as effective for Memphis finishing the win with 25 points of his own. The Grizzlies will now look to advance on to the next round with a win in Game 6.
