Kevin Durant became the eighth player in NBA history to reach 30,000 points in his career. However, despite his impressive 34 points, the Phoenix Suns were defeated at home by the Memphis Grizzlies 112:119. The 36-year-old basketball player is still the main weapon of his team, even though he is in an advanced stage of his career. His experience and achievements can serve as an inspiration to young players not only of his team, but also of the entire league.
The unstoppable Ja Morant leads the Grizzlies to victory
The guests from Memphis controlled the game almost the entire meeting, and their biggest advantage was 19 points. However, the home team fought and tried to win back the game. Bol Bol's 3-pointer brought them closer to 112-109, two and a half minutes before the end. However, the Suns had no answer to the phenomenal play of Ja Morant, who led Memphis to victory. Morant was dominant, seemingly unstoppable, which bodes well for his performances in the coming weeks. The coaches are certainly satisfied with his form.
Morant led the Grizzlies with 26 points, while Desmond Bane added 20. Durant reached his 30,000 points with 26 points, and by the end of the game he added 8 more for a total of 34. Although they were also extremely good, Bol Bol's 18 points and 14 rebounds did not help the Suns avoid defeat. Durant's incredible success speaks to his greatness and enduring power on the court.
With this victory, Memphis maintained second place in the West with a 36-17 record, while Oklahoma City is in first place with 43-9. Denver is right behind, 35-19. Phoenix is currently 11th in the West with a record of 26-27, which means they are behind Sacramento and Golden State who hold the last play-in positions.
Durant's team will have to learn an important lesson after this defeat, and work on many aspects. Kevin will try to raise the team with his influence, even the Phoenix Suns coach, who must find a recipe for success.
