Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant reacted to Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James dominating for USA Basketball
As they prepare for the Paris Olympic Games, USA Basketball is playing a group of Showcase Games. Narrowly escaping defeat against South Sudan on Saturday, Team USA pulled out a 101-100 victory. Going down to the wire again on Monday against Germany, Team USA needed a clutch performance from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James to secure the victory.
Scoring five-straight points for Team USA at a crucial moment late in the fourth quarter, including 11 points in the final four minutes, James hit a clutch three that was followed by a tough layup to seal the win. Reacting to the sequence from James, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant sent out a post on X :Morant has been active online the last several months, often sharing his reaction to NBA Playoff games, WNBA games, and now these Team USA games.
This performance from James against Germany was special, as not only did he do a little bit of everything in the win, but he came up clutch when it mattered most. Germany had no answer for James down the stretch, as he put Team USA on his back.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
